Hola amigos! I'm learning spanish! Yaaay! Anyway, it's pretty much popular now.
POPULAR. Ever wondered about this word? Popular movie, Popular celebrity, popular music, popular fashion, a popular hit! Where did it come from? When did we start using it?
Today, I'll be writing about Popular culture or, pop culture.
Why should I write about popular culture anyway?
Remember the last post about the movie Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind? Remember Clementine? That's how I want to connect it.
Moving forward to the Pop art.
Originated in 1960s, Pop art became popular and Andy Warhol, the very well known name in the industry is considered as the father, was the leading figure in this field. Began with the very basic and popular things such as Campbell soup cans (1968) and icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Andy took the industry with a storm and was a known figure by then. Slowly and gradually,a movement that started in Britain had spread to various other countries.

Her ever changing hair colour ( which I really LOVED) from Blue ( she referred it to as 'Blue Ruin') to Revolutionary Green brings up the topic of Pop culture! Also, not just the hair colour, if we have a look at her outfits, that are colourful and totally reflect her personality.
What is it? When did it begin? How did it begin? Who started it? How did he start it?
Phew! I have an endless list of questions with me
Pop culture is basically a collection of ideas, thoughts, perspective, images of the mainstream population.
It was the influence of bloomers (1950s) who had the buying power which led to the Pop culture. soon after it spread, swinging sixties was the time, something like Pop Art came.
1980s was the time when this word "Popular" became too mainstream and soon everybody was using it. Now, not so surprisingly we are part of it in form of internet, social media site, communication, or any sort of media. Popular culture is what everybody is doing, it's very general to be precise. Moving forward to the Pop art.

I don't mean this, but I am going to say this anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart.-Twla Tharp
Roy Lichtenstein, was an American pop artists known for his boldly coloured parodies of advertisements and comic strips. One of his very famous paintings was of the drowning girl which was painted with oil synthetic polymer paint on canvas.
Pop art looks out to the world. It doesn't look like a painting or something, it looks like itself. - Roy Lichtenstein
