Pop art
was a visual artistic movement that emerged in the early 1950s
in Britain and in parallel in the late 1950's in the United States.
Pop art is one of the major art movements of the Twentieth Century.
Characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass
culture, such as advertising and comic books, pop art is widely
interpreted as either a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of
abstract expressionism or an expansion upon them. Pop art, like
pop music, aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist
culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any
given culture. Pop art at times targeted a broad audience, and
often claimed to do so. However, much of pop art is considered
very academic, as the unconventional organizational practices
used often make it difficult for some to comprehend. Pop art and
Minimalism are considered to be the last Modern art movements
and thus the precursors to Contemporary art or Postmodern art.
