Pop art is the abbreviation for popular art, a style that emerged as a direct response to abstract expressionism. The style emerged in the UK and US during the 1950s and was inspired by everyday objects and bright colours, so that everyone could appreciate and enjoy it. It used advertising imagery, photographs and ordinary elements of consumerism (like soup cans, cereal boxes etc) to make it more connected to people. Famous pop artists include Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Patrick Caulfield, Blek le rat, Banksy, Pixnit etc.

Pop art is a visual art movement from the 50's that originated in the U.S. and Britain. This art form took images and ideas from popular culture (such as movies, television, magazines, comics, or current news) and emphasized them to the audience as an art form. Pop artists were known to satirize objects and people, like blowing up objects to giant proportions or dramatically changing the colors of the image. Some examples of pop art include Warhol's famous prints of the Campbell's soup can, or his prints of Marylin Monroe and Jacki Onassis. Also Roy Lichtenstein's satires of famous art forms like Cubism and Surrealism drawn in his comic book style. Some famous pop artists include Billy Apple, Andy Warhol, Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jasper Johns.
