POP Art

Pop Art was a brash, young and fun art movement of the 1960's.

• Pop Art coincided with the globalization of Pop Music and youth culture.

• Pop Art included different styles of painting and sculpture but all had a common interest in mass-media, mass-production and mass-culture.

• Although Pop Art started in Britain, it is essentially an American movement.

• Pop art was strongly influence by the ideas of the Dada movement.

• Pop Art in America was a reaction against Abstract Expressionism.

• The art of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg is seen as a bridge between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.

• The artist who personifies Pop Art more than any other is Andy Warhol.

• Warhol's paintings of Marilyn Monroe are the most famous icons of Pop Art.

• Roy Lichtenstein developed an instantly recognizable style of Pop Art inspired by the American comic strip.

• Claes Oldenburg was the greatest sculptor of the Pop Art movement, creating many large scale public works.
