Why did pop art use bright colours?
Because he was a painter and liked bright colors. So did, and do, many other painters. Don't ask them WHY!They stand out in front of other colours and to look more affectiveby jade and sky xxxUhh,Why NOT ask why?? It's a way of trying to understand things. Not all painters use the colors they do just because they like colors. For some artists, the colors have a special meaning. I think Warhol tried to use some contrast between his subject matter and the colors he used on them. For instance, he did a silkscreen called "Electric Chair" in which the colors were red, blue, bright yellow, and even pink. When you think of electric chairs you don't think of pink, or any kind of brightness. I think a big reason for why he used bright colors is because he meant for the colors to have a bigger purpose than he just liked bright colors.
