Résumé anglais |
This paper analyzes Pop Art's oscillation between subversion and conformism. In fact, to some, it was an exaltation of the American way of life as it mirrored the general well-being that people living in an affluent society experienced. Conveyed by Pop Art, the media image of the American world seemed to celebrate, by fetishizing it, American society's self-image. However, the deliberate use of impersonal brand-new objects could also be interpreted by others as a denunciation of a consumer society gone wild. The aim of this presentation is to show the potential of subversion of artists who, by choosing refusing to clearly take sides, by to present themselves as dehumanized as the subjects they presented, implicitly denounced the vision people had of the American world through the media.
