Read about two different art styles and choose two pictures to illustrate the text.
Pop art or popular art is the art for everyone. It appeared in the UK in the 1950s and was distributed to the USA and popularised by famous artists like Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns.
The artists represent everyday objects and celebrities and use vivid bright colours and simple easily-recognised shapes, as well as bold lines to make them attractive and noticeable. The style was both inspired by and used in advertisements, movie and music posters, and comic strips.
As for abstract art, it initially has no particular subject. It uses shapes and colours to represent the author's feelings or evoke your own ones. The so-called "rhythm" of forms and lines, the prevailing colours (bright or pale, high or low contrast, warm or cold), the texture — all these instruments help abstract artists to express their ideas and find their viewers. Among famous abstract artists, we can name Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock.
