Artist Statement:
Pop art is a visual 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
kitschy elements of any given
culture. Pop art at times
targeted a broad audience, and
often claimed to do so...
