Influences:

• In London, this movement started when a group of creatives (known as the "Independent Group") gathered to end the "modernist interpretation of culture and society". During the regular meetings that would take place, the term "Pop-Art" was brought up a lot as they would discuss the impacts of pop culture on society. A lot of their inspiration came from America's pop culture elements.
