Pop Art
This trend stood for making popular
materials a part of art, and saw the beauty of daily objects. The
comic-books culture was used by Lichtenstein
as raw material for his paintings, and Andy
Warhol
made the printed image of movie-star Marilyn Monroe
an object of art, in one of his works. Cans of soft-drink and packing of
consumer products are made works of art in the hands of pop artists, and
the musical parallel one can find, is the tendency
to turn pop pieces into classics, by means of sophisticated arrangements
and co-operation between pop artists and performers of classical music.
Thus, "The Beatles"
became pop classics who know no borders, and dignified
classical orchestras perform pieces written by bands such as "Deep
Purple"
and artists such as Rick
Wakeman,
the keyboard player of the Art-Rock
band "Yes".
Combinations of jazz with serious art music occur, such as in the works
of Gershwin,
and musicals such as "Westside
Story" by Leonard
Bernstein
are examples of integrating pop culture into music.
