| - | '''Pop Art''' is a visual [[History of art|artistic movement]] that emerged in the mid 1950s in [[Britain]] and in parallel in the late 1950s in the [[United States]]. Pop Art is one of the major art movements of the Twentieth Century. Characterized by themes and techniques drawn from ''popular'' [[mass culture]], such as [[advertising]] and [[comic books]], pop art is widely interpreted as either a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of [[abstract expressionism]] or an expansion upon them. Pop art, like [[pop music]], aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or [[kitsch]]y elements of any given culture. Pop art at times targeted a broad audience, and often claimed to do so. However, much of pop art is considered very [[academic]], as the unconventional organizational practices used often make it difficult for some to comprehend. Pop art and [[Minimalism]] are considered to be the last [[Modern art]] movements and thus the precursors to [[Contemporary art]] or [[Postmodern art]]. | + | '''Pop Art''' is a visual [[History of art|artistic movement]] that emerged in the mid 1950s in [[Britain]] and in parallel in the late [[1950s]] in the [[United States]].
