Pop Art Myths has colored up this summer in Madrid

Pop art emerged in late 1950s and early 1960s and was one of the most liberating moments  in the history of art. Pop art brought an end to the division between “high” & “low” culture. For the Pop Art, any image was recyclable and every object could become an art. Its true objective was to offer the art lovers a new interpretation of the image in contemporary culture.
