Pop art, "new realisms" and strategies for appropriating reality

Lecture Hall Moscow Museum of Modern Art No. 4 in Kazan

The reaction to the post-war economic boom in Western countries was the interest of artists in the "grassroots" reality of everyday consumption and mass culture. The heroes of the works are the most ordinary everyday objects, which appear as signs of the times, symbols of social hierarchies, a reflection of collective aspirations and fears. Showing interest in the media of communication - photography, advertising, television, newspapers and glossy magazines - the artists sought to overcome the limitations of subjective experience and find expression for supra-individual experiences, for a new aesthetic experience that is born under the conditions of total standardization and mass media appropriation of visual images.
