what is Pop Art
Pop Art is a modern art movement, started in the 1950s in England but took off in New York, which uses the imagery, styles, and themes of advertising, mass media, and popular culture. Two Pop artists are Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein
Richard Hamilton in 1956 he created his most famous work, which was initially intended as a poster for the now legendary exhibition. But after a trip to New York in 1963, he began to combine elements of photography and painting in his pictures.
In the 1960s, Roy Lichtenstein became a leading figure of the new art movement. Inspired by advertisements and comic strips, Lichtenstein made bold, graphic images .
