Pop art is a movement, started in the 1950s, that uses imagery from popular culture.

Who is the father of Pop art?

Opinions vary on who the father of Pop art may be. Pop art emerged in the 1950s in Britain and flourished in 1960s-era America as a reaction to postwar mass consumerism. Some argue that Andy Warhol deserves the title because he helped shape the movement during the 1960s. However, other artists like Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton began producing what’s now considered Pop art a decade earlier. Other artists who made important contributions to Pop art include Marta Minujín, Claes Oldenburg, Rosalyn Drexler, James Rosenquist, Peter Blake and Roy Lichtenstein. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Pop Art.

Why did Pop art start?

Pop art started because artists sought to react to the mass consumerism of the 1950s with the goal of putting popular culture on the same level as so-called high culture. Works associated with Pop art are distinguished by their bold imagery, bright colors and seemingly commonplace subject matter. Practitioners endeavored to challenge the status quo. Pop artists broke with the perceived elitism of the previously dominant Abstract Expressionism and made pointed statements about current events. Richard Hamilton's 1956 collage ‘Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?’ is widely believed to have kickstarted this unconventional new style, but Pop art is perhaps most closely identified with American Pop artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Pop art.

Although Hamilton and other British artists launched the movement, they were soon overshadowed by their American counterparts.Pop art is perhaps most closely identified with American artist Andy Warhol, whose clever appropriation of motifs and images helped to transform the artistic style into a lifestyle.

Finding the Right Case Pieces And Storage Cabinets for You

Of all the vintage storage cabinets and antique case pieces that have become popular in modern interiors over the years, dressers, credenzas and cabinets have long been home staples, perfect for routine storage or protection of personal items.

In the mid-19th century, cabinetmakers would mimic styles originating in the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI eras for their dressers, bookshelves and other structures, and, later, simpler, streamlined wood designs allowed these “case pieces” or “case goods” — any furnishing that is unupholstered and has some semblance of a storage component — to blend into the background of any interior.

Mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts will cite the tall modular wall units crafted in teak and other sought-after woods of the era by the likes of George Nelson, Poul Cadovius and Finn Juhl. For these highly customizable furnishings, designers of the day delivered an alternative to big, heavy bookcases by considering the use of space — and, in particular, walls — in new and innovative ways. Mid-century modern credenzas, which, long and low, evolved from tables that were built as early as the 14th century in Italy, typically have no legs or very short legs and have grown in popularity as an alluring storage option over time.

Although the name immediately invokes images of clothing, dressers were initially created in Europe for a much different purpose. This furnishing was initially a flat-surfaced, low-profile side table equipped with a few drawers — a common fixture used to dress and prepare meats in English kitchens throughout the Tudor period. The drawers served as perfect utensil storage. It wasn’t until the design made its way to North America that it became enlarged and equipped with enough space to hold clothing and cosmetics. The very history of case pieces is a testament to their versatility and well-earned place in any room.

In the spirit of positioning your case goods center stage, decluttering can now be design-minded.

A contemporary case piece with open shelving and painted wood details can prove functional as a storage unit as easily as it can a room divider. Alternatively, apothecary cabinets are charming case goods similar in size to early dressers or commodes but with uniquely sized shelving and (often numerous) drawers.

Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard that features colored glass and metal details, an antique Italian hand-carved storage cabinet or a glass-door vitrine to store and show off your collectibles, there are options for you on 1stDibs.

Questions About Pop Art Cabinet

What is Pop art?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Pop art is a movement, started in the 1950s, that uses imagery from popular culture.
Who is the father of Pop art?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
Opinions vary on who the father of Pop art may be. Pop art emerged in the 1950s in Britain and flourished in 1960s-era America as a reaction to postwar mass consumerism. Some argue that Andy Warhol deserves the title because he helped shape the movement during the 1960s. However, other artists like Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton began producing what’s now considered Pop art a decade earlier. Other artists who made important contributions to Pop art include Marta Minujín, Claes Oldenburg, Rosalyn Drexler, James Rosenquist, Peter Blake and Roy Lichtenstein.

Why did Pop art start?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
Pop art started because artists sought to react to the mass consumerism of the 1950s with the goal of putting popular culture on the same level as so-called high culture. Works associated with Pop art are distinguished by their bold imagery, bright colors and seemingly commonplace subject matter. Practitioners endeavored to challenge the status quo. Pop artists broke with the perceived elitism of the previously dominant Abstract Expressionism and made pointed statements about current events. Richard Hamilton's 1956 collage ‘Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?’ is widely believed to have kickstarted this unconventional new style, but Pop art is perhaps most closely identified with American Pop artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Pop art.

Irena Orlov ArtMarch 1, 2021
It emerged in 1950 in United States and England. It is characterized by using images as objects of popular culture or everyday life, obtained from the media. Through irony, it reflected the society of the time, marked by consumerism, materialism, the cult of image and fashion.
Who was the founder of Pop art?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
There was no single founder of Pop art, as many artists contributed to the development of the movement. Richard Hamilton’s 1956 collage Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing? is widely believed to have kickstarted the unconventional new style. Although Hamilton and other British artists launched the movement, they were soon overshadowed by their American counterparts.

Pop art is perhaps most closely identified with American artist Andy Warhol, whose clever appropriation of motifs and images helped to transform the artistic style into a lifestyle. Roy Lichtenstein was another prominent American Pop artist. Much like Warhol, Lichtenstein drew his subjects from print media, particularly comic strips, producing paintings and sculptures characterized by primary colors, bold outlines and halftone dots, elements appropriated from commercial printing.
