Pop Art

Having been inspired by a similar movement based in America in the 1950’s, a group of British artists began to make art that was a response to the modern media world around them.

They made art from packaging, advertising, film, magazines, comics and TV.

They wanted to question the very meaning of what art is. Andy warhol
