The modern art movement of Pop Art was a hugely
successful modern art movement. The hight of it's
popularity was during the 1960s. The champions of
Pop Art were Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and To
Wesselmann.
It is widely thought that Pop Art was a reaction
to Abstract Expressionism or it was
an evolutionary move from Abstract Expressionism.
The concept of Pop Art was parallel to the ideas
of Pop Music whereby it is designed to be
consumed by the masses as opposed to soley the
elite. pop painting for sale
Pop Art used images of everyday household objects
and presented them in a manner that made the
audience think differently about them or think
about them at all. Famously the painting of a
Campbell's soup tin by Andy Warhol was a great
example of the idea that objects can be
presented to make people notice and think about
them. Would you ever usually study a can of soup
for more than 3 seconds? probably not Pop Art
made people think about consumables and
household images in a different light. In the
history of Pop Art one of the highlights was when
Andy Warhol famously established, 'The Factory'.
This was Andy Warhol's studio. He had a team of
workers who would run silk screen prints and
lithograms. The factory became highly exclusive
and a hangout for the arty and famous. The
factory was a great example of what Pop Art had
become and how it was sharing identical
characteristics to Pop Music. 'The factory' was
also a great example of how Pop Art had become
commercially identical to the household products
and eveyday objects that were being featured
within Pop Art it's self. Andy Warhol's, 'The
Factory' was mass producing Pop Art as a process
ironically like soup tins are mass produced in a
process pop paintings for sale
