# Neo-Dada carries the structure. Pop Art appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Neo-Dada (Style, 1953–1965) and its accent from Pop Art (Style, 1950s–1960s). Structural cues: Ready-made objects brought onto the picture; Printed matter transferred by silkscreen; Forms halfway between painting and object; Traces of erasing, layering and soiling. Accent cues, used sparingly: Halftone dots; Bold outlines; Primary colors; Repetition. Composition: No grid: a horizontal collage in which one three-dimensional object breaks the picture plane and pulls the eye off axis.. Type and lettering: Mixed sizes and mixed faces from whatever was to hand, some stencilled, some torn out of existing print.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Red, yellow, blue, black outlines, halftones. Mood: Rebellion, Play, Technology, Exhilaration. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #f5dd27, #ee2f2f, #2060b7. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Neo-Dada: Pasting readymades alone never shows why they were chosen, and it becomes a shelf of knickknacks. Arranging it tidily strips the dirt and scale the work depends on, and leaves clean decoration.
# - Pop Art: Overusing comic marks trivializes the content. Decide what you treat as mass culture.
