I Was A Rich Man's Plaything was a piece of art created by Eduardo Paolozzi, a Scottish sculptor and Artist. He was a key member of the British Post-War avant-garde. Despite the fact that his artwork was created before the Pop Art movemont supposedly began, his collage proved to be an important part of the movement, combining pop culture documents like a pulp fiction novel covers, a Coca-Cola advertisement, and a military recruitment advertisement. His work exemplifies the slightly darker tone of British Pop Art, which reflected more upon the gap between the glamour and affluence present in American popular culture and the economic and political hardship of British reality.  His use of collage demonstrates the influence of Surrealist and Dadaist photomontage, which Paolozzi used to recreate the mass media images experienced in everyday life.

Pop Art was birthed in the United Kingdom in the 1950s amidst a postwar socio-political climate where artists turned toward celebrating commonplace objects and elevating the everyday to the level of fine art. American artists Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstien, James Rosenquist and others would soon follow suit to become the most famous champions of the movement in their own rejection of traditional historic artistic subject matter in lieu of contemporary society’s ever-present infiltration of mass manufactured products and images that dominated the visual realm. Perhaps owing to the incorporation of commercial images, Pop Art has become one of the most recognizable styles of modern art.

He was a Scottish artist and prominent influence on what became the Pop Art movement. He produced large-scale figurative sculptures, prints, and collages made from magazines and other found objects. He liked to use anything to create art and never liked to throw anything away. Analyzing this  artwork you can see that it is very bright and colorful, so it screams happiness, it uses cartoons, aka Mickey Mouse so it has a childish side to it and it is very clear that it is a collage. What I like is that it doesn’t have a clear meaning, if it has one at all, but I see it as the happiness and colorfulness that is in ones head.​

The term “pop art” is used for the first time in the U.S. by the Museum of Modern Art in New York during a symposium. Andy Warhol exhibits his Campbell's Soup Cans for the first time; this is also his first solo exhibition. Who would have known that the Campbell's Soup Cans would have a big impact for years.

Corita Kent, also known as Sister Mary Corita, was an artist with an innovative approach to design and education. By the 1960s, her vibrant serigraphs were drawing international acclaim. Corita’s work reflected her concerns about poverty, racism, and war, and her messages of peace and social justice continue to resonate with audiences today. Throughout the ‘60s, her work became increasingly political, urging viewers to consider poverty, racism, and injustice. To create her artwork Sister Corita used serigraphy or silkscreen printing. This technique is still used today, especially in clothing businesses. ​

Roy Lichtenstein is a very different artist who create work the was amazing and hard to understand. he uses techniques that not many know. I like how this painting allows the audience to make up their own story and use their imagination. Its really creative, interesting and different, which is exactly what Lichtenstein is like. I also like that it looks like a cartoon, much like his other work, so it also portrays his childlike side. But when I think about it is very contradictory in a good way, because even though his art is mainly made on realism, the actual drawing isn’t realistic, it’s a cartoon, and I think that is what I like most.  ​

Safe Sex is an Acrylic Painting created by Keith Haring. Haring’s art was focused on spreading awareness on drug use, safe sex, aids and other problems with his community. Haring took a lot of inspiration from graphiti and drew subways and murals outside/ around his neighbourhood. So this piece of art is another example of Keith haring expressing Safe sex and making people aware of the dangers of having unsafe sex.

Hudek is  a native Houstonian and has been making art most of his life. He is  a mixed media abstract artist, abstract  painter and collage artist who enjoys making all kinds of art using all types of materials and mediums. One day he is painting abstracts and possibly the following few days he’ll work on collages using cut and torn magazines. When he is done with those he does a few pop art nostalgia style magazine covers. He derives a lot of his inspiration from jazz when painting abstract art,  ’The music of jazz has always been synonymous with abstract expressionist painting’ according to him. ‘I can feel the music actually guide me in a direction that is like a conductor of a big band.  Hitting the high notes with a bold stroke of bright color or accents of muted tones.’​

​

In my opinion, Hudek’s work is quite repetitive, more like a pattern than a collage. When I look closely at his art you can see that in the background he uses similar if not the same images in all of his art which is why it is a bit like a pattern, but no one is never originally drawn to that at first glance because he covers all that up with a main and big image in the middle of the photo. I do really like his art though.​

With a vibrant, tongue in cheek visual identity, she is a self-proclaimed 'professional doodler' with a unique and playful illustration style that extends itself through the worlds of advertising, art and fashion.​ Most recently her notoriety has increased due to a project aptly titled ‘Doodle-Bombing’ where she draws over the covers of influential fashion publications such as Vogue and ID. Recently completing a new project doodling on 14 Vintage Playboy’s, Playboy itself gave their thumbs up and shared the project on their official Facebook page. She uses Posca Pens to create her work.​ her work is very bright, colourful and catchy. even if it isn't properly apart of the Pop Art movement, I would definitely consider it a version of modern Pop Art.
