Synthetic Cubism
Definition of Synthetic Cubism as it relates to Art, Pop Art, Movements
Pop Art Movements encapsulate a visual art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s, predominantly in Britain and America. This artistic style is characterized by its incorporation of popular culture elements, such as advertising, comic books, and mundane cultural objects, into fine art. Pop Artists aimed to challenge traditional fine art concepts by elevating everyday imagery to the level of high art, blurring the lines between 'high' and 'low' culture. The movement is often seen as a reaction to abstract expressionism, which was then the dominant art movement in America. Notable pop artists include Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Richard Hamilton.
