Aesthetic movement offering role outside work (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pop art

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'aesthetic movement' is the definition.
'pop art' can be an answer for 'movement' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'aesthetic' bit.

'role outside work' is the wordplay.
'role' becomes 'part' (eg a part or role in a film).
'outside' is an insertion indicator.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'part' placed around 'op' is 'POP-ART'.

'offering' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pop art that I've seen before include "Artistic movement influenced by commerce and the mass media" , "Warhol's style" , "Apt pro (anag.)" , "Creative movement" , "Work done by Warhol" .)
