Editing Pop art (section)

==Belgium==
In [[Belgium]], pop art was represented to some extent by Paul Van Hoeydonck, whose sculpture ''[[Fallen Astronaut]]'' was left on the Moon during [[Apollo 15|one of the Apollo missions]], as well as by other notable pop artists. Internationally recognized artists such as [[Marcel Broodthaers]] ('' 'vous êtes doll? "''), [[Evelyne Axell]] and [[Panamarenko]] are indebted to the pop art movement; Broodthaers's great influence was [[George Segal]]. Another well-known artist, [[Roger Raveel]], mounted a birdcage with a real live pigeon in one of his paintings. By the end of the 1960s and early 1970s, pop art references disappeared from the work of some of these artists when they started to adopt a more critical attitude towards America because of the [[Vietnam War]]'s increasingly gruesome character. Panamarenko, however, has retained the irony inherent in the pop art movement up to the present day. [[Evelyne Axell]] from [[Namur]] was a prolific pop-artist in the 1964–1972 period. [[Evelyne Axell|Axell]] was one of the first female pop artists, had been mentored by [[Magritte]] and her best-known painting is ''Ice Cream''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/philadelphia-museum-facebook-racy-painting-425321 |title=Philadelphia Museum of Art Wins Fight with Facebook over Racy Pop Art Painting  |website=artnet.com |date=11 February 2016 |access-date=2020-01-17}}</ref>
