Fred Mogubgub (1928–1989) was an animator and painter who first came to attention through his films related to the pop art movement of the 1960s in New York City. In 1961 Mogubgub joined designer Pablo Ferro and Lew Schwartz to form Ferro, Mogubgub and Schwartz.[1] In 1964, he left the company to form Mogubgub, Ltd.
Mogubgub's style is quick, staccato, jump-cut—an assemblage of cartoons and photographs that flash across the screen fast enough to be almost subliminal advertising. Among his clients are Ford, Coca-Cola and Life Savers. Mogubgub says he chooses his subject matter from 'American objects which stick out from the clichés you get drilled into you in school.' He was given the slogan "Have you ever heard anyone say 'no' to a Life Saver?" by the Beech-Nut people and made a pop commercial. A follow-up survey reported that the public recalled it more often than straight ads.
Fred created many animated films, television shows and advertising campaigns,[3] and several of his movies are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. He was known in the 1960s for his innovative fast-cut style and such offbeat commercials and films as Enter Hamlet[4][5] and The Pop Show [6] (latter featuring an unknown Gloria Steinem).
One of Mr. Mogubgub's best-known Pop artworks was a huge sign erected in midtown Manhattan in 1965 that read, Why Doesn't Someone Give Mogubgub Ltd. Two Million Dollars to Make a Movie? His works, ranging in style from abstract to realistic, were exhibited in many New York galleries, and his 25-by-30-foot fantasy, Virginia's Garden, was said to be one of the world's largest paintings.

- Large Pop Art Oil Painting "Pear" Modernist Colorful Composition Suzanne MearsLocated in Surfside, FLBold, colorful, still life oil painting of a pear. In lush, vibrant color. SUZANNE WALLACE MEARS During college she focused on painting and clay. Then it became photography and clay, then only clay, then kiln formed glass and today its kiln formed glass, painting and plasma cut steel sculpture. She also works in oil paint and encaustic. Reminiscent of the color works of Jim DIne and the fruit paintings of Tom Seghi. She never works with only one medium. She uses color and texture to create energetic, luminous, joyous works with the glass. Bright, bold color using reds, blues, oranges reflect my travels in color saturated countries such as Tibet, Nepal, China and Mexico. At random I use solid color fields as a challenge to my driving love of vibrant color. Her favorite themes are inspired by nature and antiquity. Kiln formed glass uses flat sheets of glass which are cut into shapes, layered and incorporate accessory elements of frits, copper wire and mesh, pieces of sheet copper or brass and dichroic glass fired in a kiln.

Schenck is known for utilizing cinematic imagery reproduced in a flattened, reductivist style, where colors are displayed side-by-side rather than blended or shadowed. In the August 2014 issue of SouthwestArt magazine, his work was described as “a stance … a pendulum between the romantic and the irreverent.” Schenck’s artwork is now in 48 museum collections, including Smithsonian Institution, Denver Art Museum, The Autry Museum of Western Heritage, Booth Western Art Museum, Tucson Museum of Art, Phoenix Art Museum, the Mesa Southwest Museum, Museum of the Southwest, Midland TX...Category
