Funky Pop

Pop Art has reintroduced the narrative image as the key element in this form of creativity. Images taken from media and popular culture, a significant shift at the time from the direction followed by modernism. Pop Art takes its roots in Neo-Dada and other movements that questioned the very definition of "art" itself. Pop originated in the United Kingdom in the 1950s amidst a postwar socio-political climate where artists turned toward celebrating commonplace objects and elevating every day to the level of fine art. 

The Pop Art movement aimed to blur the boundaries between "high" art and "low" culture by creating paintings or sculptures of mass culture objects and media stars.
American artists Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, and others would soon follow suit to become the most famous champions of the movement in their rejection of traditional historical, artistic subject matter in lieu of contemporary society's ever-present infiltration of mass-manufactured products and images that dominated the visual realm. Perhaps owing to the incorporation of commercial images, Pop Art has become one of the most recognizable modern art styles.

Pop art aesthetics: saturated colors, bold outlines, boldness. Pop art is meant to be fun, lighthearted, and even childlike. It is a reactionary movement to the period's more serious Abstract Expressionist art.
