Pop Art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and the late 1950s in the United States
An art movement that began in the U.S. in the 1950s and reached its peak of activity in the 1960s, chose as its subject matter the anonymous, everyday, standardized, and banal iconography in American life, as comic strips, billboards, commercial products, and celebrity images, and dealt with them typically in such forms as outsize commercially smooth paintings, mechanically reproduced silkscreens, large-scale facsimiles, and soft sculptures.

Roy Lichtenstein did pop art that has a familiar girl with blonde hair, natural colors in his paintings, and kind of comic looking images.
Richard Hamilton's work wasn't exactly the pop art that we are familiar with, but his looked as if he just put faces and things together.
Tom Wesselmann's work was very unique to all the other pop art artists. His art was kind of inappropriate. They're good, nut super inappropriate. At least most of them are, others aren't so bad.
