Pop Art is an art movement that emerged in London and New York city during the mid to late 1950s. In a way, Pop Art was a reaction to the seriousness of abstract expressionist art.Pop art was meant to be fun, bright, sometimes ironic and attention-getting. Artists often depicted well-known celebrities like movie stars or rock stars, commercial items like
soup cans and soft drinks, comic books and any other items that were popular in the commercial world. Andy Warhol was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement. He is well-known for his portraits of celebrities and his illustrations of his Campbell Soup cans. He said He ate soup everyday for lunch, and that soup was universally appreciated.
