Pop Art, an abbreviation of Popular Art, is a movement that found its
origins in England in the 1950s but realised its full potential in New
York in the 60s. The name referred to the interest of a number of
artists, such as Robert Rauschenberg (born 1925) and Jasper Johns (born
1930), in the imagery and techniques of consumerism and popular culture.
Pop Art, led by the cult figure of Andy Warhol, was probably the most
extraordinary innovation of 20th century art. It put art into everyday
terms and so helped close the gap between “high art? and “low art?. The
British artist Richard Hamilton defined Pop Art as: “popular, transient,
expendable, low-cost, mass-produced, young, witty, sexy, glamorous, and
Big Business?. Richly documented and clearly structured, this book
provides an overall view as well as a new and insightful perspective on
Pop Art and the works of the artists who were at the forefront of this
movement.
