Detailed Description
Emerging in the mid-20th century, Pop Art was a colorful rebellion against elitism. Rooted in irony, it mined consumer culture for imagery, elevating mundane objects to fine art. Leaders like Warhol and Lichtenstein drew inspiration from ads, mass media, and comic books, making art accessible and speaking a universal language. It questioned the value of art itself and blurred boundaries between highbrow and lowbrow culture, presenting the ordinary with a fanfare.
