Above is the "Rabbit" done by Jeff Koons. Jeff Koons is a contemporary artist known for his sculptures of balloon animals. In 1986, "Rabbit" was created and eminates a soft inflatable bunny cast in stainless steel. The sculpture's polished surface allows the viewer to see their reflection regardless of the angle in which it is viewed. This work is glamorous and erotic despite its kitsch origins. Jeff started his rise when he changed contemporary and popular american art into controversial high art. In the case of "abstract art" Jeff Koon's painting were appreciated compared to other artists. His works feature simple imagery that is transformed into sculptures using fine materials.

Andy Warhol was a key artist in the "pop art" movement that emerged in America and other places in the 1950's. He connected the idea of television/film (media) influence into his paintings. Above are several photos of Marilyn Monroe with various colors and tints. These different forms and prints create and convey different sensations and moods. Warhol experimented with silkscreen printing, a popular technique that was readily used. Warhol moved away from the typical traditions. Many people did not welcome this new technique.
