The Popular Art Movement

Pop Art started as a reaction to the impersonal and too elite form of abstract art. British and American artists of the mid 20th century felt it was time to take art to the ordinary people. Andy Warhol is considered to have started the Pop Art movement and serigraphy or screen printing was his tool of choice. Andy Warhol used everyday images of kitchen items, or movie stars faces to bring this movement to life. Comic books, advertisements, and album covers boasted pop art. The idea behind the Pop Art movement was a good one, Popular art or Pop art has been heavily criticized for blurring the lines between fine art and mass produced art. Andy Warhol says that "art is what you can get away with"

Quote by Andy Warhol

"An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them."
