Pop art is a visual art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Great Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop Art challenged tradition by asserting that the use of an artist of goods produced in visual mass of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of Fine Arts. Pop removes the material from its context and isolates the object, or it combines with other objects, for contemplation. The concept of Pop Art refers not so much the art itself as to the attitude that led to him.
Pop art is an artistic movement of the twentieth century. Characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture, advertising, comics and mundane of cultural objects, pop art is widely interpreted as a reaction to the then dominant ideas of abstract expressionism, and to expansion upon them. Pop art, to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of a given culture, often through the use of irony. It is also associated with the use of artists of mechanical reproduction or rendering techniques.
Much of pop art is considered as incongruous as the conceptual practices that are often used, it is difficult for some to understand easily. Pop art and minimalism are considered artistic movements that precede the postmodern art, or some of the earliest examples of postmodern art themselves.
Pop art was often his images what is currently being used in advertising. Labelling of products and logos are prominent in the imagery chosen by pop artists such as labels on soup cans Campbell’s, Andy Warhol. Even the labels on the carton containing retail items was used as a subject for pop art, for example, Warhol’s Campbell’s Tomato Juice Box 1964, or his Brillo Box soap sculptures.
