How do the art pieces of Pop art compare to the modern art that came out during the 1970’s? How are the portrayals of women similar or different within both these times? Is this mostly a product of the time and the world around?
In the topic of Pop art the subject was women was mostly through a male perspective. The female body was objectified and made very important to the collages. In the 1970’s because of the times and the women’s movement, there was a platform to portray women in a different light with The Dinner Party, “consisted of a triangular table with places set with ceramic vulvas and embroidered ‘runners’ for 39 imaginary female guest” (Hopkins 183). The female perspective was a challenge to the domineering ‘masculinist’ cultural viewpoint of the time.
David Hopkins “After Modern Art 1945-2000” beings discussing minimalism on page 169. So for clarification, what is Minimalism? Where did it branch out of? Was it a reaction to something?
