Pop art
Pop art is a visual
art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in
Britain and in parallel in the late 1950s in the
United States. The coinage of the term Pop Art is often credited to
British art critic/
curator,
Lawrence Alloway in an essay titled The Arts and the Mass Media, but this is false - the term that he uses is "popular mass culture" Nevertheless, Alloway was one of the leading critics to defend mass culture and Pop Art as a legitimate art form. 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 is widely interpreted as either a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of
abstract expressionism or an expansion upon them. Pop art, like
pop music, aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or
kitschy elements of any given culture. Pop art at times targeted a broad audience, and often claimed to do so.

Pop art
Pop art è il nome di una corrente
artistica della seconda metà del
XX secolo. La Pop Art è una delle più importanti correnti artistiche del dopoguerra. Esordisce in
Gran Bretagna alla fine degli
anni '50, ma si sviluppa soprattutto negli
USA a partire dagli
anni '60, estendendo la sua influenza in tutto il mondo occidentale.Questa nuova forma d’arte popolare (pop è infatti l’abbreviazione dell'inglese popular, popolare) è in netta contrapposizione con l’eccessivo intellettualismo dell’
Espressionismo Astratto e rivolge la propria attenzione agli oggetti, ai miti e ai linguaggi della società dei consumi.
