Let’s start with the basic information. What is pop art?

Well, it started in 1950 in Britain and then it moved to United States, and the guy who basically named this king of art was James Mchale and before it was called “pop surrealism”. It also moved to other countries, (Spain, Italy, etc) but let’s stay with the main ones.

People (like my mother) consider that this kind of art is non-sense. This is because, the pop art it’s related to the "Dada", which was a cultural movement in which there were no rules, everything could be considerated as artistic.

In Pop art we got some rules, for example they need to be about or related to a everyday situation, thing etc. For example the popular can of soup of Andy Warhol, which is my favorite one. Other classic of Warhol are the paintings and murals of famous artists at that time like Marilyn Monroe. Maybe you will also find a lot of artists painted under this style, I was looking yesterday and I found Michael Jackson, and John Lennon.

After researching this, I remember that in NY there are some murals and paintings which I’m sure that are from this “pop art” so I will research for my next post who made them. So for today I think we’re done.
