Pop Art

Pop art is an art movement that began in Britain in the 1950s and by the 1960s reached the United States.
Pop art is based on the use of already well known images and culture from billboards, magazine adverts to famous peoples images and supermarket products

“Consumer boom” in the 1950s, after the end of war time, people had an optimistic outcome and influenced the creation of pop art.

Pop art was amazingly enough inspired by comics, which is understandable due to the bold outline and flat colours. 

Pop art grew hand in hand the youth and pop music of the 1900s and 60s and even was used to inspire a fashion style.

I rather like the style due to my love for comics and this style reminds me of them.  The bright colours and bold lines are done so simply yet everything seems to be done so well.
