Pop Art

Pop Art is an Art Movement that began in mid 1950s in Great Britain and in late 1950s in United States. Pop Art is a style that presents traditions of fine art with popular culture images. In Pop Art you can find some images which got taken out of their known context and combined with a completely unrelated material. 

Pop Art employs aspects of mass culture such as:

  • Advertising 
  • Comic Books
  • Mundane Cultural Objects
A lot of Pop Art is considered in congruent as the stuff used often makes it difficult to readily comprehend. Pop Art and Minimalism are considered the Art Movements that precede Postmodern Art or they are an Earlier example of Post Modern Art. 

Pop Art often takes an image that is already in used by e.g. company on their Advertisement, such as label or logos. 

An example of Pop Art by Andy Warhol (Campbell's Soup Cans) 


Some examples of Pop Art which I really like because of how the images have a cartoon looking style but they look realistic at the same time.
