RIVIÈRES LARRY (1923-2002)

Larry Rivers est considéré par beaucoup comme le père du mouvement Pop Art. Dans l'œuvre de Rivers de 1980, "Beyond Camel", nous voyons un paquet de cigarettes Camel légèrement hors sujet, un article de la culture de consommation que Rivers s'est approprié pour créer une critique de la marchandisation et de la culture de consommation. Rivers aurait certainement eu connaissance de l'œuvre de Stuart Davis et de son tableau de 1921, "Lucky Strike", représentant un paquet de cigarettes aplati. Rivers interprète son sujet dans une perspective Pop Art ; cependant, l'imagerie est presque plus grande que la vie, et l'image de marque est présentée comme un sujet en soi.

En 2002, une rétrospective du travail de Rivers a eu lieu à la Corcoran Gallery of Art à Washington, D.C.
