How did pop art influence commercial art?
Well, pop art started off as a new kind of art but grew into many things. For example many new-day designs for advertising and clothes, etc. Roy Liechtenstein and Andy Warhol wanted to use the world as it was, on the surface, not deep or emotional or existential as the Abstract expressionist painters did. They presented in their art things like: Eg, The Coke Bottle, Advertisements on TV, billboards, food, clothes, etc. So Pop art meant philosophical an acceptance of the world as the world showed itself without any more thinking or critic or analysis.Read also the quotes by Warhol and Liechtenstein on this matter, with the links.This quote of Warhol is a very illustrating one!"The farther west we drove (to California, fall of 1963) the more Pop everything looked on the highways. Suddenly we all felt like insiders because even though Pop was everywhere - that was the thing about it, most people still took it for granted, whereas we were dazzled by it - to us, it was the new Art. Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again. The moment you label something, you take a step - I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabeled. We were seeing the future and we knew it for sure… …the mystery was gone, but the amazement was just starting.from 'POPism'; as quoted in "Warhol in his own words - Untitled Statements ( 1963 - 1987)", selected by Neil Printz, in 'Andy Warhol, retrospective', Art and Bullfinch Press / Little Brown, 1989, pp. 457 - 467
