Pop Art was a style of fine art within Mid-Century Modern 1950s and 1960s. Started in Britain and developed in the USA, it reflected the consumer culture prevalent at the time – buy new items often. Artists used everyday popular objects in their works, hence the name of the style.
Facts of Lavish History is cool — prior to tea, the most popular British drinks were ale, gin and coffee. Beer Street and Gin Lane cartoons from 1751 by William Hogarth illustrate that very well.
