pop artists
Commercial-culture painters
Pop artists are musicians who perform popular music—songs with broad commercial appeal, catchy melodies, and accessible lyrics.
The term covers a wide stylistic range, from dance-oriented performers to singer-songwriters, unified mainly by mainstream radio play and chart success: Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny are among the biggest pop artists today.
In visual art, Pop artists were members of the 1960s movement that incorporated imagery from advertising and mass culture, exemplified by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
