POP ART.

Pop Art started in the 50s' in Britain. The first application of the term Pop Art got into conversation during a discussion a group of artists had. This group of artists called themselves "the independent group".
Pop Art did nothing to critique natural and did not exist to make a statement. It simply celebrated pop culture for what it is.
It was officially considered a movement in February of 1958 by Lawrence Alloway, talking about it in his article "The Arts and Mass Media".
The Modernist movement was completed by the Pop Art movement by investing in contemporary subject matter. Pop Art also ended the Modernism movement.
