Origins and History
The Pop Art movement of the mid-twentieth century was a turning point for original Everyday Life artworks. Artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein started using popular culture and daily objects in their art, which continued into the 21st century with artists like Takashi Murakami and Jeff Koons. The focus of this genre is to capture the essence of daily life and elevate it to the status of art. As this art form evolves, it raises important queries about the role of consumer culture in our lives and the value of everyday objects.
