Art and Music
Pop art was the art of popular culture. It was the visual art movement that characterized
a sense of optimism during the postwar consumer boom of the 1950s and 1960s. Pop art
was brash, young, fun, and hostile to the artistic establishment. This title will allow students

differences in the point of view they represent.
