Pop
Art (Popular Art) is an art style that uses popular images and icons
and blends them and re-defines them in the art world.
Often subjects were derived from advertising and product packaging,
celebrities, and comic strips.
The images are presented with a combination of humor, criticism and
irony.
The movement also helped to decrease the gap between "high art"
and "low art" and eliminated the distinction between fine
art and commercial art methods.
No other artist is as much identified with Pop Art as Andy Warhol (1928-1987).
He began making paintings of familiar objects such as soup cans and
brillo pads. After a brief period of hand-painting these works, Warhol
began to use mechanical techniques to mass-produce his images.
