Introduction
The twentieth century’s art had a long and hard period of the development between the two World Wars. The early twentieth century started from the Fauvism movement that was led by Henri Matisse and his coloured way to define the reality. The avant-garde stream brought an art revolution that included Cubism and Dadaism. The Abstract Expressionism emerged in the U.S. after the chaos of the World War II. It became the first American movement that gained an international significance. The phenomenon of Pop Art burst into the history of art and replaced the Abstract Expressionism. The new art direction also stimulated the development of the commercial photography of that period (Alcaine& Kennan, 2015, p. 5).

This paper focuses on the Pop Art movement and the establishment of the commercial photography in the second half of the twentieth century.
