With world wars behind us, Ab Ex opponents were now looking for something-anything-that would turn the leading mode of expression to a more humanistic form rooted in tradition. Yet, artists could not fully return to the traditions of the past without noticing the visual culture of the day: mass printing was booming and screen media was evolving, two indicators that what was popular, mass produced, and easily consumed visually would have a foremost presence in the American way of life. Enter Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Claes Oldenburg as key figures in the 1960s decade of Pop & Optical Art.
