art I have chosen to examine the work and to some extent lives of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol who were two of the main forces behind the American movement. I intend to reflect the attitudes of the public and artists in America at this time, while examining the growing popularity of pop art from its rocky, abstract expressionist start in the 1950s through the height of consumer culture in the 60s and 70s to the present day.

These are a few traits of Pop art which is often recognized as the most famous and ingenious art form of the 1960s. Pop art is the most innovative art form of the 20th century for several reasons.

The Man Who Drew Bunnies It was January 13, 1995 when it happened. On that harsh winter evening there were multiple witnessess that claimed they saw a man dive into a body of freezing water to his death. The man’s body discovered a day later was ‘supposedly’ the last form of art performed by the late, estranged William Johnson. His death still remains a mystery today as no ever knew why he did it, there is only speculation. However, after a thorough investigation, the police found no answers and

August Pullman and Roy “Rocky” Dennis don’t look like the rest of us. August and Roy were born with a disorder in their face, leading to their face being deformed. “Wonder,” by Raquel Palacio, is a fiction novel based on the views from August’s close family and friends. This story explains how it feels to have a deformed face. “The remarkable life and death of Roy L. “ Rocky” Dennis,” by Elysia McMahan, is a nonfiction article based on the life of Roy Dennis. It describes how people can react to
