Origins & History

Pop Art emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and late 1950s in America, challenging fine art traditions by incorporating imagery from popular culture, advertising, and mass media.

Icons like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jasper Johns transformed everyday objects and celebrity images into art. Lichtenstein's Ben-Day dots and Warhol's silkscreen repetitions became defining visual techniques.

Pop Art's bold graphics and ironic sensibility remain influential in advertising, fashion, and digital design. Its celebration of popular culture resonates with social media aesthetics and meme culture.
