- Pop art is often associated with the New York 1960's fashionable art scene
- Pop art is ACTUALLY driven from the 1950's London Art Schools
- "The Independent Group" was a subversive collection of students at the Institute of Contemporary Art in 1953 and 1954.
- This group included Richard Hamilton, Eduardo Paolozzi, Peter Blake, John McHale, Lawrence Alloway, Peter Reyner Banham, Richard Smith and Jon Thompson.
- Pop Art appreciates popular (or material) culture
- Incorporates recognisable imagery, such as products and parts from media
- Usually very bright colours
- Flat imagery inspired by comics and newspaper photographs
- Lots of images of celebrities
Pop art and Dada and relatable. Dada was a massive influence on Pop art as they both use information of the times. Dada used visual arts, poetry and other medias, and highly focused on the issues of the war, whereas Pop Art has evolved to incorporate all different medias and popular culture of the time. They're relatable because they both deal with the issues that were current at those times.
Pop Art's influence on contemporary photography is very strong! If it weren't for the Pop Art movement we wouldn't have a lot of genius photographers out in the world today. Lots of photographer's who use product placement and other media's in their photos to make a statement. It wouldn't be acceptable if Pop Art didn't exist.
