Pop art
Pop art emerged in the 1950s in America and Britain, drawing inspiration from popular and commercial culture. It featured imagery from everyday life and objects rather than traditional artistic themes. Leading pop artists included Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, and Claes Oldenburg, known for works depicting celebrities, comics, advertisements, and consumer goods. While critically acclaimed, pop art was also accused of lacking originality. It brought popular culture and advertising into the realm of fine art and influenced later generations of artists.
