Pop Art
Description
Peaking in the 1960s, Pop Art began as a revolt against mainstream approaches
to art and culture and evolved into a wholesale interrogation of modern
society, consumer culture, the role of the artist, and of what constituted an
artwork.Focusing on issues of materialism, celebrity, and media, Pop Art drew
on mass-market sources, from advertising imagery to comic books, from
Hollywood’s most famous faces to the packaging of consumer products, the
latter epitomized by Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans. As well as
challenging the establishment with the elevation of such popular, banal, and
kitschy images, Pop Art also deployed methods of mass-production, reducing the
role of the individual artist with mechanized techniques such as screen
printing.With featured artists including Andy Warhol, Allen Jones, Ed Ruscha,
Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Lichtenstein, this
book introduces the full reach and influence of a defining modernist movement.
