Title: POP ART

POP ART
  • Making the common into the extraordinary.

What is Pop Art?
  • Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the
    mid 1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the
    United States.
  • Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an
    artist's use of the mass-produced visual
    commodities of popular culture is closest with
    the perspective of fine art.
  • Pop removes the material from its context and
    isolates the object, or combines it with other
    objects, for contemplation.

What is Pop Art?
  • Pop art employs aspects of mass culture, such as
    advertising, comic books and mundane cultural
    objects.
  • It is also associated with the artists' use of
    mechanical means of reproduction or rendering
    techniques.
  • Pop art and minimalism are considered to be art
    movements that precede postmodern art, or are
    some of the earliest examples of Postmodern Art
    themselves.

  • During the early 1960s, Warhol constructed
    artwork featuring American products such as

    well as paintings of celebrities such as Marilyn
