RTA Thesis Pop Art

Since its inception in the late 1950s, Pop Art has been influenced and inspired by society. From Campbell's soup cans to Tony Abruzzo's comic strips, artists sought out culture, current events, and advertising for subject matter. Today, art and culture are experiencing a shift. Pop art was being reflective of culture, now culture is looking to artists for the creation of advertisments and endorsements. Art is determining pop culture.
