Pop art developed in the 1950s and originated from post-impressionism, fauvism, dadaism, and abstract expressionism. It featured imagery from popular culture and mass media in an emotionally detached style using bright colors and new technologies like silkscreening. Key figures included Richard Hamilton, Andy Warhol, and Roy Lichtenstein, who are known for works depicting celebrities, brand logos, and comic strips in a pop aesthetic.

"Pop art is popular (designed for a mass audience), transient
(short term solution), expendable (easily forgotten), low cost,
mass produced, young (aimed at youth), witty, sexy,
gimmicky, glamorous, big business."
-RICHARD HAMILTON
