Pop art

Description

Characterized by its use of imagery and themes from popular culture, including advertising, mass media, comic books, and everyday objects. Pop Art often employs bright colors and bold graphics, and it can be both a celebration of and a critique on consumerism and the proliferation of mass-produced culture. Prominent figures in the Pop Art movement include Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg, among others. Their works often challenge the traditional boundaries between "high" art and "low" culture, seeking to diminish the distinction between fine art and everyday objects.
