MM a Critique of Mass Iconology (2013) by James Gill James Francis Gill, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons Not only was the Pop art movement a reactionary response to the preceding Abstract Expressionism period, but it also expanded upon some of its techniques and concepts in a form of reimagined abstract pop art. The movement shares similarities with the Dada movement in its use of repurposed images. Much emphasis was placed on the mechanical techniques employed in rendering the artworks with a multitude of mediums utilized, mixed with images that had been removed from their source material and re-contextualized in a manner that gave it new meaning. These artists wanted to create pop art canvases that reflected the world they saw around them, and therefore created artworks that were intentionally garish and ironically kitsch.
