Lowbrow, or lowbrow art, is an underground visual art movement that arose in the Los Angeles, California area in the late 1960s.[1] It is a populist art movement with its cultural roots in underground comix, punk music, tiki culture, graffiti, and hot-rod cultures of the street.[2] It is also often known by the name pop surrealism.[3] Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor – sometimes the humor is gleeful, impish, or a sarcastic comment.[4]
Most lowbrow artworks are paintings, but there are also toys, digital art, and sculpture.
