What is pop
art?
An art movement that is aimed for
creating art for the masses
This art movement often utilizes imagery
from popular culture to create art
Pop art can be abstract or art that
depicts an experience most viewers can
comprehend and relate with
Girl at Mirror
depicts a girl looking
at a mirror, with a
sense of longing and
insecurity about her
look.
Notably, the painting
shows a magazine with
Jane Russell, an
actress so known for
her beauty that she
was considered a sex
symbol.
A doll is depicted at
the side of the
mirror, in contrast
to the girl’s implied
desire to be like the
mentioned actress.
Like most pop art,
Rockwell’s Girl at Mirror
can be considered as
“popular” due to the
painting appealing to the
masses, such as through
the use of popular or well-
known iconography and the
depiction of a universal
experience for most.
Mirror
Created by Sylvia Plath

Made in 1961
Mirror depicts the
perspective of a mirror
and the brutal truth it
can only present - of how
change in how one looks
is inevitable as time
passes by.
