    Pop Art aimed to blur the lines between "high" art and "low" culture by creating paintings and sculptures of popular culture figures and celebrities. A key idea of Pop Art was that culture and art can borrow from any source, challenging the idea of a cultural hierarchy. While Pop Art encompassed diverse works, it generally took an emotionally detached "cool" approach, in contrast to the emotional expressionism that preceded it. Whether this suggested acceptance or shock towards popular culture was debated. Pop artists both embraced and critiqued post-World War II consumerism and the capitalist market through their elevation of everyday commodities and emphasis on art's own commodity status.

    Bằng việc tạo ra các tác phẩm cả về hội họa lẫn điêu khắc của các đối tượng

    văn
    hóa đại chúng và của các ngôi sao truyền thông, phong trào Pop Art hướng tới mục
    tiêu làm mờ đi ranh giới giữa nghệ thuật “cao” và văn hóa “thấp”. Quan niệm rằng
    không có hệ thống phân cấp về văn hóa và nghệ thuật có thể mượn từ bất kỳ nguồn
    nào - một trong những đặc điểm có ảnh hưởng nhất của Pop Art.
    It could be argued that the Abstract Expressionists searched for trauma in the soul,
    while Pop artists searched for traces of the same trauma in the mediated world of
    advertising, cartoons, and popular imagery at large. But it is perhaps more precise
    to say that Pop artists were the first to recognize that there is no unmediated access
    to anything, be it the soul, the natural world, or the built environment. Pop artists
    believed everything is inter-connected, and therefore sought to make those
    connections literal in their artwork.
    Although Pop art encompasses a wide variety of work with very different attitudes
    and postures, much of it is somewhat emotionally removed. In contrast to the "hot"
    expression of the gestural abstraction that preceded it, Pop art is generally "coolly"
    ambivalent. Whether this suggests an acceptance of the popular world or a shocked
    withdrawal, has been the subject of much debate.
    Pop artists seemingly embraced the post-World War II manufacturing and media
    boom. Some critics have cited the Pop art choice of imagery as an enthusiastic
    endorsement of the capitalist market and the goods it circulated, while others have
    noted an element of cultural critique in the Pop artists' elevation of the everyday to
    high art: tying the commodity status of the goods represented to the status of the art
    object itself, emphasizing art's place as, at base, a commodity.
    The majority of Pop artists began their careers in commercial art: Andy Warhol
    was a highly successful magazine illustrator and graphic designer; Ed Ruscha was
    also a graphic designer, and James Rosenquist started his career as a billboard
    painter. Their background in the commercial art world trained them in the visual
    vocabulary of mass culture as well as the techniques to seamlessly merge the
    realms of high art and popular culture.
