The art of the 1950s and 1960s was marked by a major cultural and artistic revolution in the Western world. This period was marked by a liberation of artistic expression, encouraged by social and political movements such as the civil rights movement and the feminist movement.
Artists of this era sought to challenge artistic conventions and create art that reflected the realities of everyday life. Painters of this era thus adopted more expressive and abstract styles, which made it possible to better capture emotions and feelings.
One of the most important movements of this era was pop art, which emerged in the 1950s and peaked in the 1960s. Pop artists used images and objects from popular culture, such as advertisements, comics and everyday consumer products, to create works that reflected the consumer society of the time.
