Pop Art

Pop art was a term I always associated with Andy Warhole and of course his Campbell's Soup Cans. That was until I encountered an article about David Hockney, that inspired me enough to get to know something more about that amazing artist.

First of all few words about Pop Art in general (from Wikipedia)

.

Pop art was a visual artistic movement that emerged in the early 1950s in Britain and in parallel in the late 1950's in the United States. Pop art is one of the major art movements of the Twentieth Century. Characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture, such as advertising and comic books. Pop art, like pop music, aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitshy elements of any given culture. Pop art at times targeted a broad audience, and often claimed to do so. However, much of pop art is considered very academic, as the unconventional organizational practices used often make it difficult for some to comprehend.
