WHAT IS POP ART? Pop Art was a visual art
movement that emerged in the 1950s in Britain and the United States (Moffat, 2007).
It was one of the biggest art movements of the twentieth century and is characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture, such as television, movies, advertising and comic books (Moffat, 2007).
Andy Warhol is considered the “Father of Pop Art”

ANDY WARHOLAfter a career as a
commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his avant-garde Pop Art paintings and screen printings.
Warhol used images from tabloids and movie posters to talk about America’s celebrity culture. He used hard-edged shapes of solid color to simplify a photograph. He would mass produce these images for popular culture (Moffat, 2007).

CLAES OLDENBURG
Pop artists also liked to satirize objects, sometimes enlarging those objects to gigantic proportions. Oldenburg was famous for creating large scale everyday objects (Moffat,2007).
Food was a common theme, but so were household objects such as chairs and toilets being made of squishy plastic instead of the materials you would normally expect (Moffat, 2007).

KEITH HARING
Haring's bold lines and active figures carry strong messages of vitality and unity. His legacy made an impact on late 20th century art and grants us all a vision for the future.
Haring opened the Pop Shop, a retail store in Soho selling T-shirts, toys, posters, buttons and magnets bearing his images.

ROY LICHTENSTEIN
Pop Art coincided with the youth and pop music phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s, frequently appearing in advertisements for musical bands and on record covers, becoming very fashionable. Afterwards Pop Art came in a number of waves, but all its adherents shared some interest in the urban, consumer, modern experience (Moffat, 2007).
