Please Don't Lick The Screen

Pop art legend Andy Warhol has created many memorable paintings, but his painting / advertisement of lifesavers that says “Please do not lick this page is my favorite. I like the color and the witty saying at the bottom of the page. This is why for my Fashion Photography assignment, Artist Inspiration, I choose this painting. I did my layout a little different. Instead of lining up my lifesavers in perfect lines and rows, I decided to make a pile of them. I had both hard and gummy lifesavers to have different textures and different colors. I used part of the original saying,” Please do not lick this page,” but I substituted the word photo for the word page. I also took a picture with the saying,” Please do lick this photo,” just for fun. The lifesaver advertisement was great inspiration for my photography.

A POP of Color

Peter Max is a multi-dimensional artist who became famous in the 1960s and early 70s for his pop artist (psychedelic) style and posters that converge to the mass media. Max gave the Art Nouveau style of the early 1900s a psychedelic makeover with a bright, acidic palette of hot pinks, yellows and greens. His bold colors and uplifting images have inspired others.

 

It doesn’t get more American than neo – psychedelic artist Lisa Frank. She could be the cousin to psychedelic artist Peter Max, except her art was made for young girls during the 1980′s and 1990′s. Lisa’s artwork consists of neon rainbows, tigers, unicorns, pandas, dolphins and surfing penguins. Lisa Frank creates a cute and freaky world with images that populated school desks nationwide as spiral notebooks, stickers, pencils and erasers. I’m convinced that Peter Max is a close relative of Lisa Frank
