Pop Art is a term that describes the contemporary art movement that developed in the UK in the 1950's and progressed to the US in the 1960's. Prior to the emergence of Pop Art, Fine Art frequently depicted well-known biblical characters and scenes, legends, and mythical figures as subject matter. Pop Artists used advertising, well-known figures, comics, movies, and common objects as subject matter, and began to mass-produce their art. The term “Pop Art” is derived from the use of popular culture as a creative art form.
