8 women who marked pop art
Here I bring you a publication referring to some of the most outstanding women of pop art, it is easy to think about pop art and imagine Andy Warhol, but it was not only this artist the consecrated and recognized of this genre, there is a good segment of women who gave their artistic life for the emergence and recognition of pop art.
Contrary to sexist tendencies, women managed to take over and make pop art during the time that the movement lasted, thanks to Warhol who sponsored them in different media, he is the accomplice who generated the ground for women to give everything in pop art.
In this case, art is a motive for study in different epochs where women have been creators. We move to the 70's when pop art was consolidated as a movement where women were already present, so today we will briefly analyze 7 women of pop art.

Rosalyn Drexler
This artist focused reference many figures of the cinema, turning them into true icons, although their forms and abstractions were seriously criticized because it meant little creativity when representing the works and using mechanized methods, was not negative enough to jeopardize his image, on the contrary this gave him more popularity, most art critics began to talk about Rosalyn as the plastic artist who composed with a musical scaffolding.
