Pop Art
Pop Art draws on visual elements from advertising, comics, entertainment, consumer goods, and everyday life. It uses graphic outlines, flat color blocks, repetition, exaggerated proportions, and comic-style halftone patterns to make these elements the focal point of the artwork.
Contemporary Pop Art has transcended the realm of commercial imagery. Portraits, music, animals, and figures can all be interpreted through simplified shapes, strong color contrasts, or illustration-based techniques. While the subjects may be familiar, the artistic approach transforms the way they are presented.
When comparing Pop Art prints, pay attention to the relationship between the subject matter and its graphic treatment. Choose based on the imagery and graphic style you wish to display on your wall.
