Tag: pop-art
Pop-art is an art movement that arose in Britain and the United States during the mid- to late-1950s.
This movement was a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular and mass cultures, such as advertising, comic books, and mundane cultural objects.
One of the purposes of Pop-art is to use images of popular (as opposed to elitist) culture in art, highlighting the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, most often through the use of humor.
It is also correlated to the artists’ use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques. In Pop-art, material is sometimes visually extracted from its known context, detached, or fused with unrelated material
