Roy Lichtenstein, ‘Whaam!’ 1963

This is a piece called Whaam! it was created by the artist Roy Lichtenstein this piece was created in a pop art style. Pop art is done in a style where you deconstruct an image so it is as simple as it can be. This is very effective because how simplified this makes the images it make it easily accessible to a much larger audience. The piece Whaam is very well made the choice of colors and the use of the page make it a really striking image that jumps out of the page and grabs the attention of the person that is looking  at the piece.

This piece was made by a group of women called Guerrilla Girls in 1989 this piece was made to reveal the blatant sexism in the art and design community in the 70’s and 80’s. This is a very successful piece because of its use of color and how this makes the words and image stand out this is because of the contrast bettween the black, white and pink words and image on a pale yellow background, this makes the reader pay attention to the message that these women are producing.

Overall postmodernism did a lot of good because it showed lots of problems that were in the art and design world at the time it also helped introduce more people to comic art through the Pop art so this was a very good time due to the developments that were made in this time.
