Lowbrow (modern North American, modern American, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Style of art and approach to pop culture in general that challenges the validity of a high or established art aesthetic. Critics disagree as to its relationship with the fine art world, and if it is to be considered a "legitimate" art movement on its own. The term was coined by artist Robert Williams in 1979 to refer to the populist nature of his own work. The style is characterized by both its influences, such as comic books, tattoos, and hot-rod street culture, and it approach, which is typically bright, garish, and infused with a sense of humor.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 藝術風格和流行文化手法,在挑戰高尚或普遍認定的藝術美學之效力。藝評家並不認可它和藝術界有所關連,也不認為能視其為一項「合法的」藝術運動。此一詞彙是由羅伯‧威廉斯(Robert Williams)在西元1979年所創造,用以指稱他個人作品的民粹本質。此風格的特色,就是其所帶來的影響,例如漫畫、刺青,和改裝高速車的街頭文化,另一特色則在於其表現手法,典型為明亮、花俏和充滿幽默感。 
Dutch ..... Kunststijl en benadering van popcultuur in het algemeen die het bestaan van een hogere of gevestigde esthetische waarde van kunst ter discussie stelt. Critici verschillen van mening over de relatie met de beeldende kunst en of het moet worden beschouwd als een 'legitieme', op zichzelf staande kunstbeweging. De term werd in 1979 bedacht door kunstenaar Robert Williams, als verwijzing naar de populistische aard van zijn eigen werk. De stijl wordt gekenmerkt door zowel zijn invloeden (zoals stripboeken, tatoeages en 'hot-rod'-straatcultuur) en zijn benadering, die meestal helder, opzichtig en humoristisch is.
