Pop Art - 19 examples
An art movement that appeared in the mid-1950s and gained footing in the 1960s in the U.K. and U.S., pop art is a brash, bold and bright form of postmodernist art. It is characterized by familiar imagery that draws inspiration from sources in popular culture and media, aimed at celebrating everyday life and ordinary objects.
The art movement kicked off as a rebellion towards the rigid views of what constitutes art and the then traditional approaches to culture and art-making. The art genre was made immensely popular by some of the biggest names in the world of art, such as James Rosenquist, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol.
