Pop art history began between the 50’s up to the 60’s. This momentous art movement marked the transition of art work contents from the traditional biblical, mythical and legendary subjects that define Fine Art, to commercial or corporate- inspired images and illustrations seen in advertising prints and images taken from Pop culture of different countries and generations. Pop Art also deviated from the then apparent masterpieces of artists which are basically abstract, impressionist, realistic, etc. The move didn’t lead to much upheaval, as a matter of fact; people readily approved and patronized the shifts in art forms during that period. Up to now, Pop Art is the most desired forms of art favored by artwork addicts and people on the whole. Well-known artists who used Pop Art in their works include Tom Wesselmann, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein, etc.
There are Pop Art inspired sculptures, structures and literary pieces, but the most sought after are the Pop Art canvas prints, collages and paintings. Because of its popularity, these works of art can be seen displayed on walls of different house, offices, establishments, stores, etc. It is quite normal that should you enter a music studio or a music station, a Pop Art canvas print of Bob Marley, The Beatles or Michael Jackson is exhibited. When you enter the salon or a fashion boutique Pop Art canvas image of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Madonna, etc. are nailed to the walls. Workplaces, advertising agencies and most especially publishing offices often have Pop Art canvas prints of comic strips, cinema clips, advertorials of specified firms, and photographic images of unique sceneries. Indeed, Pop Art is truly a universal form of art. It links everyone from different age groups, genres or generations. It makes average things, astonishingly artistic and spectacular.
Several Pop Art canvas prints that are available in the market today range from a collection of Pop culture and mass advertising illustrations decades ago up to the present. Indeed, Pop Art designs transcend time; thus making masterpieces inspired by this particular art movement a timeless art piece. Almost all of the artworks produced in the 50’s up to the 60’s have present day reproductions. Pieces that serve as tribute to artists of the Pop Art movement are mass produced up to today, so collectors and artwork fans have more choices to choose from.
Then until now, Pop Art masterpieces are not only evident but are still widely used as decorations.
