This movement was marked by a fascination with popular culture that was from post-war society.
It was first popular in America but soon spread to Britain. Pop Art celebrates objects such as soup cans, washing powder, comic strips and soda bottles, this movement turned the commonplace into icons.
Pop Art is a descendant of the movement dadaism in the way that it mocks the art world by appropriating images from the street, the supermarket, the mass media and presents them as art in itself.
