POP ART
"Pop Art is industrial painting. I think the meaning of my work is that it is industrial, it's what all the world will soon become. Europe will be the same way, soon, it won't be American; it will be universal." -- Roy Lichtenstein

Pop art originated in the UK in the mid 1950s and
reached America in the early 1960's. Pop artists merged the objects,
people and media of popular culture into their art. Roy Lichtenstein
used comic books as inspiration. Andy Warhol rose to fame with his
Campbell's soup cans and Robert Rauschenberg intermingled a variety of
different pop culture elements into his masterworks. Pop art connects
with the every day, average person more so than any other movement of
the past. The symbols and images of Pop art are instantly
recognizable, familiar and FUN. As Andy Warhol said "Pop art is about
liking things."
