Early in his career, he painted signs for amusement parks around NYC, but between jobs, he traveled extensively, to Europe, Egypt, and South America. Pop was the true bohemian artist. His work gained critical acclaim beginning in the 1920s, and his popularity grew until he died in New York City in 1933. His work is in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Brooklyn Museum, L.A. County Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 3500-5500
