Pop Art Food Desserts Cake Forks Colorful Postcard

A vibrant display of sweet desserts, sponge cake and layer cake with icing, black forest cake with whipped cream and chocolate frosting, cherries, fruit cups with strawberries, kiwi fruit and blueberries. These plastic forks stuck up at odd and eclectic angles for a unique pattern of lines and interactive shapes. Both disposable objects and food are favorite subject matters of pop artists, who elevate the mundane or everyday to Art with a capital A, a reaction against the dominant ideology. Pop Art uses subjects from real life as well as contemporary media to create artwork. Thus Pop Art is one style that can never die, as it flows along with society, social change and technological developments. Although it's been around in Britain since the 1950s and the US since the 60's, Pop Art is always fresh, often funny, colorful and bold, drawing inspiration from such themes or media as video, photography, graphic effects, factories and manufacturing, industry, commercialism and repitition. It is based on the popular culture of the people rather than that decreed by rich upper classes. Pop Art takes nothing seriously, not even itself, and when you look at a work of Pop Art you'll always find something to smile about. Awesome sweet snacks photo graphic by M Sylvia Chaume, Canada.
