Answer 1

Pop Art

1950's to 1960's





Pop Art is a style of art which explores the everyday imagery that is so much a part of contemporary consumer culture. Common sources of imagery include advertisements, consumer product packaging, celebrity photographs, and comic strips.



Leading Pop artists include Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Lichtenstein.

Answer 2

Andy Warhol was part of a movement called Pop art which raised every day items to a level of iconic importance as a visual experience. He tried to change the perspective in which you view a common object so that instead of thinking of the can of soup as a potential lunch you think of it because of its shape and design and by changing the normal colors that you see it you are forced to view it differently just as Jasper Johns did by changing the colors of the American flag. Other ways they did this was to take a common object like a clothe spin and enlarge it to a humongous size so that you are forced to view it differently. People walk though life with blinders on and the job of the artist is to take those blinders off.

Answer 3

Pop Art was born in Britain in the mid 1950s. It was the brain-child of several young subversive artists - as most modern art tends to be. The first application of the term Pop Art occurred during discussions among artists who called themselves the Independent Group (IG), which was part of the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, begun around 1952-53.

The integration of fine art and popular culture (such as billboards, packaging and print advertisements) began way before the 1950s. Gustave Courbet's Bonjour, Mr. Courbet (1855) symbolically pandered to popular taste by including a pose taken from the inexpensive print series called Imagerie d’Épinal which featured moralizing scenes invented by Jean-Charles Pellerin.
