to create paintings and sculptures out of the objects of mass culture1 including celebrities1 effectively blurring the boundary between 8high art0 and 8low culture40 ,Pop art encompasses a wide variety of works with many different attitudes4 ,Its twin1 overriding concepts1 however1 are that there is no cultural hierarchy and that art may borrow from any source4 ,Pop art is one of the most recognizable styles of modern art4 ,The origin of the term pop art is uncertain4 ,In #aieb1 a group of artists in ,London calling themselves ,The ,Independent ,Group began meeting regularly to discuss mass culture's place in fine art and science and technology4 ,Imagery from found objects1 ,American cowboy movies1 science fiction1 comic books1 automobile design1 billboards1 and rock 'n' roll music were all enthusiastically discussed for the rich possibilities they seemed to hold for the future4 ,Around the same time1 ,New ,York ,City artists were beginning to rebel against the strict formalism of many schools of modernism4 ,Jasper ,Johns had already been producing abstract paintings and ,Robert ,Rauschenberg was combining found objects and images with traditional materials like oil paint4 ,These artists and others were associated with an emerging movement known as ,Neo-,Dada1 which gave rise to pop art's emergence in ,New ,York in the #aifjs4 ,Some of the early and important names in
