Pop art is an art movement that became popular in the mid 1950's in Britain. The movement then emerged in the late 1950's in the United States.
One of the popular artists who shaped the pop art movement was an American artist called Andy Warhol. Andy's work usually consists of very bright colours and his work was very recognisable. He would often draw/get influence from popular media and products, advertisements and celebrities. Andy Warhol understood the allure of celebrity and understood shopping, so these obsessions helped drove the economy. Andy captured an 'authentic American aesthetic.'
