| Abstract | This thesis explores how the Pop artists innovatively synthesized the ideas of popular and public by infiltrating the public realm on a more direct level through performance, monumental sculpture, and constructing the artist persona. Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol became catalysts who demystified the elitist attitude of the art world by creating an approachable and tangible experience for the audience. Oldenburg's monuments questioned societal transience, and the transformative, sentimental, and accessible components of pop culture imagery. Warhol challenged the mythic status of the traditional artist by revealing the inner-workings of the artistic process, creating a persona that elevated him to a status of artistic desirability. Throughout the next five decades, the artist would continue to encourage the public to react, relate, and respond to their media-driven environment. These concepts further synthesized in the post-Pop generations, including artists Maurizio Cattelan and Takashi Murakami, inevitably effecting how the public views and experiences art. |
