How was pop art founded?
There was no one founder. A group of collectors, curators and artists are required for all art movements. A British critic coined the term "Pop Art" (popular art) in the mid fifties. The movement took off in New York in the sixties.
The movement arose out of a sense of frustration with Abstract Expressionism, a severe school of painting that permitted no reference to the outside world and hoped to achieve direct emotional contact between artist and viewer, leading the viewer inward to the deepest and most sublime feelings of the soul.
