Pop Art

Pop art was a mid-20th-century art movement that celebrated popular culture and everyday objects through vibrant and bold imagery.

Originating in the mid-1950s in Britain and later in the 1950s in the United States, pop art achieved its peak during the 1960s. It started as a rebellion against prevailing artistic and cultural norms, as well as conventional notions of art. A new generation of artists, including Andy Warhol and Richard Hamilton, found the teachings of art schools and the contents of museums disconnected from their daily experiences and the world around them. Instead, they turned to a diverse array of sources like Hollywood films, advertising, product design, popular music, and comic books to draw inspiration for their creative expressions.
