What Is Pop Art?
Pioneers Of Pop Art
Andy Warhol:
Was an American artist who was also an author and film producer. He specialized in visual art or otherwise known as Pop Art. He also has his own museum in Pennsylvania, USA, the largest museum dedicated to a single artist. He also founded Interview Magazine.
Roy Lichtenstein:
Was also an american Pop artist. As well as that, he was a sculptor and a lithographer. He claims that he would take an image, but not draw it. He would symbolise it, turning it in to a symbol of the real object. He worked on figurative, abstract expressionist styles.. and then went on to create 'loose' cartoon images, such as Disney characters.

Emily Wilson in particular, has recently been publishing small cartoon strips. These would then either be sold on to comic book companies or newspapers. Adding to her talent, she has also released Andy Warhol like images. This is where she has duplicated an imaged and changed colours. She has become very popular in the United States, following in the footsteps of her idol, Andy Warhol.
