By repeating the image, he evokes her ubiquitous presence in the media. The contrast of vivid colour with black and white, and the effect of fading in the right panel are suggestive of the star’s mortality. 2.Just What Is It that Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing? By Richard Hamilton (1956). A small collage which a few years before the emergence of Pop Art foresees many of the coming art movement’s characteristics: the consumer world takes control of the secluded safety of home life—in which new media, tape recorder, and television come to play a central role. 3.Oh, Jeff ... I love you, too ... but by Roy Lichtenstein (1964). He made changes to the color of the original to make the cartoon his own.

The Pop Art movement, which started in England, occurred between the years 1955 to 1965 although it didn't take off in the United States until 1962. They used mass-production techniques in response to the increasing amount of mass media in the post-war culture. They used the mass-produced images to give a cynical and detached feeling to their work.
