Pop- Art
Pop-art is an art movement that emerged in the mid 1950's in Britain and in the late 1950's in the United States. Pop-art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular cultures such as advertising, news, etc. 
In pop-art, material is sometimes visually removed from its own context, isolated and/or combined with unrelated material. The concept of pop-art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it.
