Neo Dada

Neo Dada is a recreation for the dada movement and what it is basically  its purpose is to mock and celebrate the consumer culture as well as bringing abstraction and realism together. (widewalls,n.d)

The two most famous artistic movement artists were Robert Raushenburg and Jasper Johns. Most of the Artists wanted to exhibit their art without having any type of rules or limits, and because they do have rules Artists decided to start protesting by mocking popular imagery by making museum works of important people with funny or scary theme on it that was highly illegal. (wikipedia.com,n.d)

One of the most popular artworks that goes by the name of 'Three Flags' was made by Jasper Johns in 1958 was intended as fine art but people at the same time were questioning if this painting that is called 'fine art' if he did it to mock the flag or art itself. Some people also said this flag is a patriotic painting. John wanted us to wonder and understand what a painting actually was simply by drawing the same flag on three different sized canvases.

Minimalism

Donald Judd - Galvanized Iron 17 January 1973, purchase Fonds W. van Rede, 1979

Minimalism started off in the 1960's due to various artists changing their views on present art being 'stale and academic. The idea of what minimalism means is in the name itself, 'minimum'. What im trying to explain is that the designs are simple but some of them are extremely mind blowing once you get the idea or message that the artist is trying to show with the design, colour, pattern or anything like that.

Some artwork that artists invent like creating extremely simple and often geometric sculptures using recycling and industrial materials such as fibreglass, plastic, sheets of metal or aliminium with monochromatic, primary colours. Minimalism is seen as an extreme form of abstract art. Minimalism removed themselves from Abstract Expression and their style. Minimalism artists wanted to change the traditional views of the sculpting and unite painting and sculpture.

Pop Art

Pop art is an art movement that was invented in the mid-1950's in Britain and the late 1950's in the United States. This movement has created a challenge to traditions of the fine art by adding imagery from popular and mass cultures, such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects, one of its purposes is to use images of popular culture in art by emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any cultural and also most of the time to use irony. This also has to do with the Artists use of mechanical means of reproductions or rendering techniques. In Pop art, material from artwork is removed from its known context isolated and combined with unrelated material.

The ones who started Pop art were among five people who are Edwardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton in Britain, Larry Rivers, Robert Rauschenburg and Jasper Johns among others in the United States. Most times Pop art are interpreted as a reaction to the dominant ideas of abstract expressionism, as well as an add on to those ideas.
