Pop All about commercialism

http://www.fi.muni.cz/~toms/PopArt/

Pop art

Art in which commonplace objects (such as comic strips, soup cans, road signs, and hamburgers) were used as subject matter. The Pop art movement was largely a British and American cultural phenomenon of the late 1950s and '60s. Works by such Pop artists as the Americans Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Tom Wesselman, James Rosenquist, and Robert Indiana and the Britons David Hockney and Peter Blake, among others, were characterized by their portrayal of any and all aspects of popular culture that had a powerful impact on contemporary life; their iconography-taken from television, comic books, movie magazines, and all forms of advertising-was presented emphatically and objectively and by means of the precise commercial techniques used by the media from which the iconography itself was borrowed.
