DATE - 1992
Jasper Johns, Three Flags, 1958 Encaustic on Canvas, 30 7/8 x 45 1/2 x 5 inches
Encaustic painting uses pigments mixed with melted beeswax.
Encaustic painting is an ancient technique that was used by the Greeks and Romans. It involves mixing colored pigments with hot melted wax and painting with the molten mixture. Encaustic artworks retain their fresh appearance and luster and are resistant to moisture, yellowing and deterioration. The most famous encaustic paintings were the Fayum mummy funeral portraits done by Hellenistic painters in Egypt in the first and third centuries. The American pop artist Jasper Johns started a 20th century encaustic revival with his popular flag- and target-themed encaustic paintings.

“Perrier” (1983) — Never a stranger to advertising illustration, Andy Warhol created marketing material for dozens of companies, always in his own signature style. This original poster for Perrier shows a trio of the classic bottles rendered with Warhol’s unmistakable palette and overlaid images. Commissioned in 1982 and completed in 1983, the advertising campaign was coordinated by Langelaan & Cerf of Paris and was awarded the Grand Prix de l’Affiche Française — the French Poster Grand Prix — that very year. Original vintage poster stamped on back with “The Estate of Andy Warhol”.

“Vacuuming Pop Art” by Martha Rosler pretty much tells the sad Seductive Subversion story. The 1967-72 photomontage is a satiric comment on the subservient role of women in the art world of the time. No wonder that a whole new wave of Feminist art arose in the wake of Pop.
Kara Bishop My love of wise words and art recently came together to become a series of posters.
As a graphic artist obsessed with branding, I took one of the most recognized peices of pop art, Andy Warhol's Soup Can, and replaced the text on the can with quotes by people like Helen Keller, Confucious and Napoleon Hill. The project had it's hurdles, one of which was creating a complete font based on the eight letters in the Campbell's Soup logo. I also had to find compelling quotes that were short enough to fit the limited space allowed by the soup cans' design. Luckily, one of my all-time favorite quotes by Albert Einstein, fit perfectly.
