ポップアート
With the rise of Pop Art, art pieces became more cynical. Pop art culture targeted clichés that evolved from the tobacco industry. Mel Ramos and Tom Wesselmann are two notable artists who poked fun at the industry. Following the stigmatization of tobacco in America, pop art has shed a negative light on smoking. Claes Oldenburg’s sculpture "Giant Fagends" depicts how cigarette addiction exemplifies the American's wasteful consumerism. Duane Hanson’s "Supermarket Shopper" shows a miserable middle-aged woman to represent how present day Americans view smokers: ruled by the addiction and lack will-power.
