Pop Art

Pop Art 1950-1960's

-Pop art is a reaction to abstract expressionism which strived to convey the emotion of the individual artist creating it. Pop art focused

on the mass materialistic, consumerist culture of the 1960's. The influential artists of this period reflected what they saw as life during

this era. Some characteristics include recognizable imagery drawn from popular media and products, using very bright colors,  flat

imagery influenced by comic books, and newspaper photographs.
