Pop art is an art movement that took place in the post-cold war era of the late 1950s and the 1960s. It began earlier in Britain than the United States, and from then on “pop art endured and became the art movement of the 1960s.” (Mamiya, C (1992). Pop Art & Consumer Culture. Texas: University of Texas Press. 2.) Pop art stood out from other art movements of the last century, not entirely from its popularity but as it was different, new and challenging.
