Inspired by popular culture, the 1960s movement Pop Art challenged rigid perceptions of fine art by embracing mass-production, advertising, comic books, and kitsch. In a move away from painterly Abstract Expressionism and with an ironic wink of an eye, it transformed everyday objects like the soup can into works of art, and catapulted the careers of artists including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg.
