The only thing that changes is the iconography and, in some cases, the presence of a more critical attitude toward it. Even in this case, the prototypes can be traced back to the works of Rotella and Baj, both far from neutral in their relationship with society. Yet this
1501-538: The 1950s, Marcel Duchamp and others in Europe like Francis Picabia and Man Ray predate the movement; in addition there were some earlier American proto-pop origins which utilized "as found" cultural objects.

2923-931: The establishment of America's pop art vocabulary were the painters Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg . Rauschenberg, who like Ray Johnson attended Black Mountain College in North Carolina after World War II , was influenced by the earlier work of Kurt Schwitters and other Dada artists, and his belief that "painting relates to both art and life" challenged the dominant modernist perspective of his time. His use of discarded readymade objects (in his Combines ) and pop culture imagery (in his silkscreen paintings) connected his works to topical events in everyday America.

5846-555: Was represented to some extent by Paul Van Hoeydonck, whose sculpture Fallen Astronaut was left on the Moon during one of the Apollo missions , as well as by other notable pop artists.
