Pop art is an artistic movement that emerged in the late 1950s in England and the United States. Characterised by themes & techniques drawn from either mass culture, such as advertising and comic books, Pop Art is widely interpreted as a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of abstract expressionism. Pop art, such as pop music, aimed to incorporate popular as opposed to elitist culture into art, & targeted the wide audience.

A term was coined inside 1958 by British critic Laurence Alloway (in response to works by Richard Hamilton, among others) and the "pop" movement was widely recognized per mid-1960s. Meanwhile, a movement was occasionally known as Neo-Dada, a title which reveals a bit of of a cerebration behind this nature & severity of art, and the hard influence of dada pioneer Marcel Duchamp on such seminal popular numbers when Hamilton, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol.
