1960s - Pop Art

I have studied pop art in the past and admittedly have forgotten most of what I knew and am left with an image of a giant can of soup in the back of my mind, which I would imagine doesn't quite sum up what the art movement was all about. I understand that its name is derived from popular culture and the worlds interest in that as it evolved and the artwork was created using bold colours and on a large scale. I don't know if the works were always created on a large scale, but I suppose that will be something I will have to look into and find out if the size of the work is relevant to the meaning of the piece or not. I think I have lots of refreshing of the mind to do on this subject. I do find this particular art movement interesting myself and more so now I am doing it the second time around.
