Description
With its bold colours, flashy imagery and sarcastic wit, pop art transcends the traditional boundaries of classical culture. Flavia Frigeri presents a movement centred on everyday objects, from its beginnings in post-war American and British consumerism (Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol) to its fascinating worldwide rise in the 1960s (Japan's Ushio Shinohara, Venezuela's Marisol, Argentina's Marta Minujín...). Organized around the major themes of pop art (advertising, politics, the home, consumer goods, art history, celebrity culture, war and the space race), this book is an essential introduction to the movement that transformed "popular" into art. This essential guide also includes a chronology of the major moments of the 1950s and 1960s, an indispensable glossary of pop art terms, and suggested reading for further reading.
