Visual Culture- 1950's and 1960's

1950's and 1960's

Pop Art

Pop art is an art movement which developed in the 1950's and progressed for decades after and is still a popular art movement today. The traditional pop art style consists of the use of very bright colours and bold black outlines, relating to that of a comic book style. It was usually used as part of advertising in the 50's. The two most well known and popular pop artists are Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. When pop art is mentioned these are the two artists you immediately think of because of their iconic art works such as Andy Warhol's Campbells Soup tin and Marilyn Monroe and Roy Lichtenstein's Crying Girl. The pop art movement has been a huge influence on visual arts and still is to this day.
