Less a distinct style than the concrete expression of being in a
particular era, Pop art began as a revolt against mainstream
approaches to art and culture and evolved into a wholesale
interrogation of modern society, consumer culture, and the role of
the artist and artwork. The movement's primary provocation was to
defy ideas of the artistic canon or "originality" by integrating
mass market imagery into their works. Whether advertising slogans,
famed Hollywood faces, comic-strip-style characters, or the
packaging of consumer products, the likes of Robert Rauschenberg,
Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, and Roy Lichtenstein knowingly
reproduced mundane, everyday images from popular culture. At the
same time, Pop art reduced the role of the individual and
challenged the notion of originality by deploying mass production
techniques such as screen printing. Like a hall of mirrors, the
resulting works came to interrogate both the ideas and desires of
contemporary culture, and its state of simulacra, whereby images,
substitutes, and representations come to define the experience of
"reality." In this book, Tilman Osterwold explores the styles,
sources, and stars of the Pop Art phenomenon. From Lichtenstein's
comic-book aesthetics to Warhol's images of Marilyn, it explores
how a movement that interrogated the icons of its time came to
produce icons of its own.
