Question

Artists of the second half of the twentieth century turned away from high art of great quality as their attention increasingly focused on popular culture.

Answer 1

True Statement

Step-by-step explanation:

As 1955 began, an art school called "pop art" perhaps reflected best the turning away from higher standards and turned the attention to everyday and ordinary culture.

The pop-art imitated techniques of brands as seen in the famous soup cans of Andy Warhol. Warhol's paintings extensively portray popular icons and become a critic of the times and mass media.

The image below portrays two great icons of the time as interpeted by Warhol:

• Marylin Monroe
• Elvis Presley

Interestingly is also to not that magazines, television shows, and advertising began to include the use of more artistic representations and techniques to portray their character.

Since they were often more accessible, they made commercial use of art, giving new social, economic and political dimensions.
