Pop Tart By D*Face
This is a picture made by the artist D*Face. He has taken the pop art style of Andy Warhol and put his own twist on it. I believe this is a post-modern image because it takes Warhol's Paint of Marilyn Monroe and Makes its look sort of demonic. It has been a growing theme in new graffiti styles to post-modernise one art to make it stand out from the norm. D*Faces Art is post modern Because he takes popular products,people, and art to(deface) or recreate into his own design. He is also know for his propaganda towards the authorities. such as his recent "Call in sick" works displaying pop art style graphics telling people to call in sick. This image also shows a genre jump that is seen in a lot of post- modern art, i it takes the pop art style and is actually preformed with spray paint which i popular with D*Face as he is a street artist. another thing that makes this post-modern is that he is talking Marilyn Monroe and making her a monster, and by doing this he give new perspective and meaning to the picture.
Good choice. This work is definitely postmodern, even going so far as to appropriate a work that itself could be considered postmodern. Obviously the work is not concerned with formal issues and other modernist concerns. The fact that D*Face is working in a non-high-art mode, using graffiti and other popular forms, also aligns it more with postmodern than modern art.
