6. Pop Art
Pop Art was an art movement in the late 1950s and 1960s that reflected everyday life and common objects. Pop artists blurred the line between fine art and commercial art.

12. A lot of pop art used food as a subject
matter. Cheap, mass produced ‘fast’ food
was a new concept and appealed to the pop
artists as objects that reflected the new fast
paced society and consumer led culture in
which they lived.

13. Pop art was appealing to many viewers, while others felt it made fun of common people and their lives. It was hard for some people to understand why Pop Artists were painting cheap, everyday objects, when the function of art historically was to uphold and represent culture’s most valuable ideals.
