Pop Art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-20th century, primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is characterized by its use of popular culture elements, such as advertisements, comic strips, and everyday objects. Artists aimed to blur the boundaries between high art and low culture, often incorporating bright colors and bold imagery.
Key figures in Pop Art include Andy Warhol, known for his iconic works featuring Campbell's Soup cans and Marilyn Monroe. The movement challenged traditional artistic values and celebrated consumerism, making art more accessible and relatable to the general public.
