Detailed Description

Pop Art is a visual art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects. One of its aims is to use images of popular (as opposed to elitist) culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, most often through the use of irony. It is also associated with the artists’ use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques. Pop art is widely interpreted as a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of abstract expressionism, as well as an expansion of those ideas. The earliest pop art in Britain was led by Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi, who both created collages incorporating images from advertising, magazines, comics and other mass-media sources, often in a humorous or ironic way. Paolozzi’s I Was a Rich Man’s Plaything (1947) is one of the first known works to include such imagery. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, American pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, and Claes Oldenburg also began incorporating imagery from mass media and popular culture into their work. Warhol’s paintings of Campbell’s Soup cans and Lichtenstein’s comic book-style paintings are probably the best-known examples of pop art. In the mid-1960s, British pop artists such as Peter Blake, David Hockney, and Pauline Boty began creating their own distinctive versions of pop art. Blake’s The Beatles Album (1966) is a famous example of pop art. The pop art movement was closely associated with the youth culture of the time and with the rebellious attitude of the artists themselves. Pop art is still popular today, and its influence can be seen in the work of many contemporary artists.
