What is Pop Art? The Art Movement Explained

The first definition of Pop Art was provided in 1955 to describe a new form of art characterized by the imagery of consumerism, new media, and mass reproduction; in one word: popular culture. Through bold, simple, everyday imagery, and vibrant block colors, Pop Art was one of the first art movements to narrow the divide between commercial and fine arts.
