That is precisely correct Snake ...Pop Art is essentially the celebration of the superficial ...idolising the trivial. A lot of people don't really understand that about the work of Andy Warhol ....it is not the actual work itself that is so important but rather the intention behind it, the "production line" aspect of it ....it is almost completely devoid of expression or meaning. I am always amused when people talk about aesthetics in relation to the work of Warhol ...because that is precisely what his art in not about. In the case of Oldenberg and his "blow ups" of everyday objects ...I guess we must realize that Pop art was a reaction to the intense seriousness of abstract expressionism ...Pop Art is all about being accessible and "cool" ....not terribly intellectual or deep ....but always cool.

Warhol's lithographs were virtually churned out on a production-line like some banal consumer product. They are a celebration of celebrity, or more importantly, the consumption of "celebrity culture" and produced with the same kind of impersonal indifference of the mass consumer products or pulp-Media they idolize, using industrial inks printed on relatively cheap paper.
