Pop art is one of the most pivotal movements in modern art. It
challenged the conventional idea of fine art and recognised the
pervasive nature of materialism and consumerism that had taken over
20th-century society. This beautifully illustrated book explores
Pop art's origins in modern European avant-garde movements such as
Cubism and Dadaism, prior to its true beginnings in early 1950's
London with the Independent Group and their fascination with
American popular culture - leading to the name 'Pop'. Guiding the
reader through the work of some of the most well-known
practitioners, such as Warhol and Lichtenstein, this compelling
book also travels the world to examine how Pop art influenced
artists as far afield as Italy, Spain, Finland, Japan, Australia
and New Zealand. Key figures include Japan's Yayoi Kusama and
Italy's Mimmo Rotella. POP! The World of Pop Art explains how - and
why - this movement appealed to so many diverse artists on so many
levels, including often overlooked female artists who were central
to the Pop art scene. Finally, POP! considers the influence of Pop
art on other genres, in particular as the precursor to
post-modernism and contemporary forms of art. With 15 faithfully
reproduced documents, including items from the studios of a number
of artists, POP! The World of Pop Art gives a unique insight into
this celebrated movement.
