'Art of the 1960s, Part 2: Copy, Print, Multiply' Replay

Replays expires one week after the live airing of the series finale New York Adventure Club | AdventureClub.com

The 1960s were a decade of extraordinary transformation, and the art world was no exception. Breaking away from the highly personal and abstract styles of the previous decade, artists began looking to the world around them for inspiration, challenging traditional notions of what art could be, how it was made, and where it belonged. It's time to explore how a revolutionary generation of artists blurred the boundaries between art and everyday life, forever changing the course of modern art!

Join New York Adventure Club for a four-part series exploring the revolutionary art movements of the 1960s, when artists embraced their changing world as both inspiration and a new frontier for artistic expression. In Part Two: Copy, Print, Multiply, we'll explore how Pop artists drew inspiration from advertising, newspapers, comic books, and consumer culture while embracing innovative printing and reproduction techniques that challenged traditional notions of originality and fine art.

Led by art historian, museum educator, and tour guide Sylvia Laudien-Meo, this art-centric virtual journey will feature:

• Artistic movements that paved the way for Pop Art, from the experimental works of Soviet Constructivists and Bauhaus artists to the unconventional approaches of Dada
• James Rosenquist's monumental compositions, which transformed imagery from magazine clippings and commercial advertisements into striking works of art
• The influence of advertising and consumer culture, including the widespread imagery of cigarette advertisements and their impact on the visual language of the 1960s
• Innovative printmaking techniques, from screen printing to modern lithography, which allowed artists like Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol to incorporate photographic imagery into their work
• Andy Warhol's fascination with consumer products and celebrity culture, from Campbell's Soup cans, Brillo boxes, and Coca-Cola bottles to Marilyn Monroe and the rise of his legendary Factory
• How artists appropriated popular imagery, including Roy Lichtenstein's comic book-inspired paintings and the reinterpretation of famous works of fine art
• The role of news media and mass reproduction in modern art, as artists incorporated current events and familiar printed images into works that challenged the boundaries between commercial and fine art

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Sylvia — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
