The Pop Art movement emerged as a diverse challenge to fine art in the 1950s and 1960s. Artists elevated and celebrated everyday objects during the post-World War II era. Some criticized the subject choice (of the movement) as an endorsement of capitalist marketing while others noted the movement as defying the concept of hierarchy within the world of art. #PopArtDay #Watershed #WAA
