Pop Art first emerged in the mid-1950s in the UK, and the US a few years later, when artists began depicting the reality of day-to-day life in Western society and taking inspiration from contemporary advertising, product packaging, comic strips and cultural icons. Pop Art radically altered the artistic landscape and made it more accessible, whilst also shaping mass culture at the time. The art movement differed from its predecessors as a result of looking around, rather than back in history, and could take anything as inspiration and source material. Richard Hamilton, the Father of Pop, defined the movement as “Popular (designed for a mass audience), transient (short-term solution), expendable (easily-forgotten), low cost, mass produced, young (aimed at youth), witty, sexy, gimmicky, glamorous, big business.” In our Pop art collection, you will find artworks by the artists who made the movement what it is, as well as by the artists they have inspired. These pieces epitomise modern living and are filled with cultural references and brilliant details. Make your room pop with a pop art print.
