Pop Art

Pop art is an art movement that began during the 1950's, in both Britain and the USA.  Pop art started a very new kind of art, taking aspects of fine art but with a much more modern style, taking influences from modern culture such as well known figures, music, advertising and current news. Pop art takes influences from abstract expressionism, to create this very unique style of art. The concept of this art movement is based on not as much to the art itself, but as to the attitudes that led to it.
