Pop Art was an art movement in the 1950s and 1960s that depicted popular culture and mass media like television, magazines, and consumer goods in paintings and sculptures. Artists like Andy Warhol, Wayne Thiebaud, and Claes Oldenburg focused on mass production, celebrity icons, stereotypical American foods, and everyday objects to comment on the effects of popular culture on society. Warhol used mass production techniques to create paintings of celebrities and consumer products, while Thiebaud painted realistic depictions of cakes and food. Oldenburg sculpted everyday objects and places like spoons, ice cream cones, and stores in large scale public art installations.
