Movement Overview

Pop Art, short for ‘popular art’, celebrates everything recognisable and mainstream. In the 1960s, artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein featured mass-produced Coca-Cola bottles, Campbell’s soup cans and comic books in their work, often using industrial techniques like screen-printing. Today, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami finds inspiration in Japan’s thriving ‘otaku’ (geek) culture, while American artist KAWS gives a twist on popular characters like The Simpsons and the Smurfs in his art.
