If you are excited by cutting edge art that offers striking social commentary, you may find that Pop Art greatly appeals to you. It is an art, like psychedelic artwork, whose pictures are highly creative, sometimes comic, and truly modern.

This creative, modern genre challenged traditional art styles by using modern materials and images from everyday consumer culture in its works. Consumer goods, comic books, magazine pictures,

and celebrities were all subject matter for the dynamic styles created by artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, both famous Pop artists. Roy Lichtenstein, for example, became famous for his fascinating styles using comic strips. Andy Warhol's art draws attention to the things that make up our everyday lives, like brand-name soup and famous stars. Pop culture is the focus of this creative genre's many styles. The Pop movement inaugurated decades of fascination with popular culture and media.

If you are intrigued by original pictures that make us reflect on our everyday culture, then this genre is the movement to explore. Its famous practitioners mentioned above are only two of a large number of artists whose pictures are captivating and compelling. Tom Wesselmann, for example, James Rosenquist and David Hockney should all be considered.

As you explore pop art, you may find yourself curious about other modern forms: op art, psychedelic art, or even asian and chinese art.
