Pop-Art
Bold, ironic canvases
Pop-Art is a mid-20th-century art movement that drew imagery from commercial and popular culture—advertisements, comic strips, consumer products, celebrities.
Artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein blurred boundaries between "high" art and mass culture, often with ironic or critical intent.
The term applies both to the movement and works in its style: The gallery featured several Pop-Art prints.
