Pop Art

. . .
London: The Hamlyn Publishing Group, 1970.

Pop art is the imagery of popular culture drawn from the cinema, television, advertising, comics and packaging to express abstract formal relationships.

Critics did not easily accept this new and bizarre style of art. Furthermore, Pop artists also duplicated common mass production images such as beer bottles, soup cans, comic strips and road signs in paintings, collages, and sculptures. Materials of modern technology, such as plastic, urethane foam, and acrylic paint, were also included in some of their art works. In fact, the “politically engaged critics … complained that Pop art is the art of passive acceptance” and that the subject matters are wild and impassioned, “and therefore in itself a satire on American life”. So, in order for the artists who were against Abstract Expressionism to dissent from that pretentious position they created Pop art.
