The history of Pop Art
What is art? In the 1960s a collection of artists made that question even more difficult to answer. They created Pop Art, a style of art that represented everybody's everyday experiences. Pop artists were fascinated by realistic images from everyday life that everybody saw. One element of life they noticed was that almost all people are consumers who buy and use millions of different things every day. As a result, many Pop artists used images of products from the supermarket or advertisements in their works.The most famous Pop artist was the American Andy Warhol. Warhol painted products like Campbell Soup, Coca-Cola bottles and bananas. He also painted other everyday images. For example, his bright portraits of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, the famous actress, became very fashionable. The British Pop artist Eduardo Paolozzi collected pictures and advertisements from magazines to use in his works. Another well-liked Pop artist was Roy Lichtenstein. Instead of using products or advertisements, most of his works were similar to images in the comic books that children read every day.Many people in the art world do not accept Pop Art as a real art form. They can't see why a dull painting of an ordinary can of soup should be part of an art exhibition. However, many original Pop Art works have been sold for millions of dollars. Many works have also appeared on music album covers. All in all, the most important result of Pop Art is that it has created a new artistic way of looking at the everyday world.
