Pop art artists had a huge impact on how we see art today, and on the development of graphic design too. Often creating brash, bold, colourful and humorous artwork, they combined different styles of painting, sculpture, collage and street art.
The pop art movement emerged in the mid 1950s and reflected on themes like the rise of mass production, celebrity and the expanding media and advertising industries. The most famous pop art artists would challenge the traditions of fine art and shape a new cultural identity. Here, we celebrate 14 of artists who defined the movement (see our pick of the best art supplies if you're inspired).
