Famous artists
Andy Warhol
Considered the most iconic figure in pop art, was once the most popular and highly paid artist in New York.
He was famous for exploring popular culture in his work, using brands like Coca Cola and Campbell's Soup

Most Pop Art artists used a comic style to complete their artwork, however Warhol's was more realistic with the look, but Pop Arty in the colours.
He did a lot of screen printing, meaning he was able to print an image more than once, this is how he made is collages.

Roy Lichtenstein
Unlike Warhol, only used people in his works.

All of his images depict people quite clearly showing emotion. Some are laughing, some are crying and some look scared. The era that this was made in was the same one where alot of civil rights movements, LGBT rights movements and other protesters were becoming prominent. It was the era when people started speaking their mind. Maybe he did this to show what humans are actually like. Art up until this point had seemed very proper. This is more relaxed, and whilst it looks less realistic, it feels more real.
Clearly based his images on Comics, all the features of comics are included.
