If you are wondering about my topic in this post, then let me clarify it first.The Pop Art Movement was given major importance in our history class. After learning about this, we went deeper into sculptures, which ultimately ended up in discussing about food replicas. Now to understand about food replicas, first you must be familiarised with what is Pop Art Movement.
It began in Britain in the mid 50's. Pop art appreciates popular culture, which is simply known as "material culture". The first application of the term "Pop Art" was made by the group of artists named Independent Group.
The movement was different from others simply because it included imagery from movies, television, newspapers and magazines. Basically, it was founded through the means of mass communication and thus became very famous among the young artists who was born after the world War II.
Both British and American artists practiced Pop Art. Some of the British artists are, Richard Hamilton, Peter Blake, John McHale, Lawrence Alloway, and Patrick Canfield. American artists include Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Indiana, Billy Al Bengston, and John Wesley.
