Contemporary art


Contemporary art is art produced at the present period in time. Contemporary art includes, and develops from, postmodern art, which is itself a successor to modern art. In vernacular English, "modern" and "contemporary" are synonyms, resulting in some conflation of the terms "modern art" and "contemporary art" by non-specialists.


In this topic I choose Pop art 
Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and the late 1950s in the United States. Among the early artists that shaped the pop art movement were Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton inBritain, and Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns in the United States.  

Why POP ART ?
 pop art is important because it reveals that pop art was far more than an artistic movement that was limited to artists and celebrities. The movement had socio-political implications that are still being realized today. In this regard, pop art could be considered more of a cultural movement or a social movement. The influence of pop art extends beyond the art world by influencing the business world and continually transforming culture into an ever greater artistic spectacle, desperately attempting to grapple with the apparent reality of capitalism. The essential significance of pop art is that economic and aesthetic considerations are not in opposition, as may have been the case in the traditional avante garde.
