| Popular in the mid 1900s, Pop-Art concentrated on the fascination with popular culture reflecting the affluence of post-war society. It was the most popular in America, but soon spread to Britain. Pop-Art often celebrated everyday objects such as soup cans, washing powder, comic strips, and soda pop bottles. It mocked the established art world by appropriating images from the street, the supermarket, the mass media, and presented them as art in itself. The most famous of the Pop-artists was Andy Warhol who is known for his prints of Coke bottles, Campbell's soup tins, an film stars such as Marylin Monroe. Other artists of the movement include Roy Hamilton, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, and many more. |
