One effect that pop art had on American culture was that people became more critical of consumer culture.
It appears that nearly anywhere in the world...from the 50's & 60's onward, people of other nations (anywhere) connected Coca-Cola, Cigarettes (the Marlboro Man), A good beer, a car, Rock 'n Roll, and the almighty dollar...to the United States.
works of pop art refer to commercial culture while works of new media are about everyday life and so are easier to relate to. plato..
POP! Art was based on the consumer culture of the 1950s and 60s. The culture of this time was based upon conformity and mass production and consumption due to the flourishing economy of Post World War II. The term Pop Art was coined in 1956 by Richard Hamilton's "Just What Makes Today's Home So Different, So Appealing?" which is a work of art that features many products that would be seen in the American home. To Andy Warhol, another well known Pop artist, said Pop art would be of images that people would immediately recognize. For example, Warhol had repeating images of coke bottles and Campbell soup cans to represent the mass reproduction of the consumer society.
"Pop Art was a visual art movement that emerged in the 1950s in Britain and the United States. The origin of the term Pop Art is unknown but is often credited to British art critic Lawrence Alloway in an essay titled "The Arts and the Mass Media", although he uses the words "popular mass culture" instead of "pop art". Alloway was one of the leading critics to defend Pop Art as a legitimate art form."
