Because Pop Art and Modern Art can be found in a variety of styles and mediums, anyone can find the perfect piece to complement their home or office as long as they know what they are looking for.

Unfortunately, many people do not understand the difference between the two art styles, and some even think they are the same, although this is not the case.

The Pop Art movement began during the mid-1950s in Britain and later spread to the United States around the end of the 1950s.

Modern Art is characterized by the ‘mood’ or emotion it evokes in the viewer, depicting despair, joy, love, regret, etc. This type of art ‘breaks the rules’ and is considered abstract art. Artists of Modern Art used this style to express themselves and depict specific events, people, and their perspective on everyday life in their art.

Modern Art created today may use the same style and mediums as the original Modern Art, but now it is primarily referred to as contemporary or postmodern art. A piece cannot be truly called ‘modern art’ unless it was created during the time period of the early 1860s and late 1970s. Authentic art with the Modern art style remains very popular, although it may not be as valuable.

Collectors worldwide covet both styles for their collections, and beginner collectors should be able to distinguish between the two.
