For my movement I will be researching Pop art. summary of pop art: Pop art, a movement that emerged in the mid- to late-1950s, challenged traditional fine art traditions by incorporating imagery from popular and mass culture, such as advertising, comic books, and mundane mass-produced objects. The movement aims to use images of popular culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, often through the use of irony. It is associated with the artists' use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques, and material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, or combined with unrelated material. Early artists such as Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton shaped the movement, while others like Larry Rivers, Ray Johnson, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns shaped it. Pop art is often interpreted as a reaction to abstract expressionism and an expansion of those ideas. It is considered to be a precursor to postmodern art or some of the earliest examples of postmodern art itself.
