A movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in London and late 1950s in New York City, drawing imagery from mass media, advertising, comic books, and consumer culture. Key figures include Andy Warhol—whose Campbell’s Soup Cans became an emblem of the movement’s embrace of consumer imagery—Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, and Richard Hamilton. It reacted against the seriousness and inward focus of Abstract Expressionism, embracing popular culture with irony and blurring the boundary between “high” and “low” art.
