Why did the Pop Art Movement Happen and What’s the Point of it? • Pop Art made commentary on contemporary society and culture, particularly consumerism, by using popular images and icons and incorporating and re-defining them in the art world. • Often subjects were derived from advertising and product packaging, celebrities, and comic strips. • The images are presented with a combination of humor, criticism and irony. In doing this, the movement put art into terms of everyday, contemporary life. • It also helped to decrease the gap between "high art" and "low art" and eliminated the distinction between fine art and commercial art methods.
