Pop art is an art movement that originated in the mid-1950s in the UK, but became widespread mostly in the United States. Pop art became a daring challenge to traditional painting, as it relied on the images from popular culture, including advertising, comics, everyday objects and news. Moreover, the emergence of pop art in the United States was a reaction to the seriousness and pointlessness of abstract expressionism. The new generation of artists wanted to return to subject painting, while introducing some frivolity, irony into their work, and mix it all with an impressive portion of kitsch.
