The oil painting above is a typical example of Pop Art. Pop Art is a 20th century art movement that utilized the imagery and techniques of consumerism and popular culture. Pop Art developed in the late 1950’s as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism and flourished in the 60’s and early 70’s.
It is not difficult to notice Pop Art images through our day life since we can easily find it on advertisements, magazines or comics. Furthermore, Pop Art favoured figural imagery and the reproduction of everyday objects, such as logos, soup cans, animals etc…. And most of the Pop Art images are simple and colourful; and sometimes artists apply different colours to different copies of the same images in order to make the paintings look more interesting and to catch people’s attention.
