We can say
that this movement originated/started to evolve in 1952, after a group of
artists began to meet up to discuss certain topics such as science and
technology, etc..… these artists called themselves The Independent Group.
In Pop art,
hierarchy of culture didn't exists and together with this another concept was
that art can borrow from any source.
An artist
within this movement is Seymour Chwast,
who was born in 1931 in New York City. He is an American graphic designer who
used to study illustrations and design at the Cooper Union. He is also a
co-founder of Push Pin Studios

Later on in
the mid of the 1960s, the Psychedelic movement began. It effected the majority of
aspects Pop Art had, including; music, literature, philosophy, language,
fashion, art etc.…. The name ‘Psychedelic’
came from a popular drugs that youth people used to take at those times, infect
the rock concerts posters used to express the feeling of tripping out.
This
movement had some elements of Art Nouveau, which had the curvilinear shaped which
were inspired from there. It had illegible hand drawn type, and of course the
intense optical colour vibration which was inspired by Pop Art.
Some
designers within this movement:
Wes Wilson was born in 1937 in Sacramento,
California. At first he wasn’t interested in art infect he used to study
forestry and horticulture, but after he dropped, he self-published his first
poster and from there he kept on going.
