Did Warhol, Haring, or Hockney make Art better as a whole? No one can say for sure and maybe that's the whole point. But we're pretty sure these would make them look twice. Pop Art materialized in New York and London during the mid-1950s and became the dominant avant-garde style until the late 1960s. It's widely considered to be the offspring of Dadaism given the satirical stance it takes on the established art world by appropriating images from the street, supermarket, and mass media, and presenting them as art in itself. The work is characterized by bold compositions of everyday imagery - heavily dependent on tv and movie culture - with vibrant colors. It had a trendy 'now' feel to it that blurred the line between the commercial arts and the fine arts. In a time when the all-knowing art critic could make or break new art in his written opinion of yesterday's vernissage, the glorification of soup cans, comic strips, and hamburgers to the status of fine art was simply shocking to the establishment. But that was the thing about it. Pop Art just didn't care about critics. Artists understood that fame, recognition, and money could be obtained regardless of what a bitchy review might say about them and their work. And contrary to the establishment of critics and veteran gallery crowd, the rest of the world saw something they could understand and relate to. The revolution of Pop Art was the democratization of art beyond stuck-up galleries. Now, did Warhol, Haring, or Hockney make Art better as a whole? No one can say for sure and maybe that's the whole point. But, 60 years later, their and other pop artists' influence can easily be seen in almost every aspect of modern society.

In the well-known work of abstraction, Mondrian focuses on the material properties of paint and its unique ability to express ideas using formal elements such as line and color. Thick, black brushwork defines the borders of the different geometric figures. Comparably, the black brushwork on the canvas is very minimal but it is masterfully applied to become one of the defining features of the work. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

Green with black squares or black with green squares? It's not the first time the internet dealt with such elaborate dilemmas - remember the 2015 black and blue/white and gold dress conundrum that divided the world? It turns out our brains, while marvellous wonders of nature, are also pretty dumb - recent studies have shown that A.I.'s no different, so maybe there's still hope? Op Art (short for Optical Art) is an art movement that emerged in the 60s. Using stark contrast and abstract shapes with mathematical precision, the works have an illusion of movement and a three-dimensional quality not seen in other art styles. Time magazine coined the term op art in 1964 in response to Julian Stanczak's show Optical Paintings, one of several artists that were turning a newfound interest in technology and psychology into an art movement. ​From spinning circles to disappearing dots, reality has since never been the same, and our heads still hurt 🤕 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

Artist: Theo van Doesburg Created: 1920 Dimensions (cm): 130 x 80.5 Format: oil, canvas Location: Georges Pompidou Center, Paris, France Theo van Doesburg was the founder of De Stijl. Later in his work, his intense passion for diagonal lines caused a breakup with the right-angular Mondrian. About this more perpendicular phase of his work though, he asserted it as "a completely flat composition in which the central point is outside the painting".
