Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Critic Lawrence Alloway is often credited with coining the term "Pop Art" in the 1950s to describe a new form of art that drew inspiration from popular and commercial culture. However, the specific inspiration for the name "Pop Art" is not attributed to any of the whimsical options listed, such as movie popcorn, his father, a Tootsie Pop, or a popping balloon. The term "Pop" in Pop Art actually comes from "popular" as in popular culture, rather than any specific object or personal connection. The choices provided seem to be playful distractions rather than factual origins of the term.
