POP ART BOOK; ED. BY NADINE KATHE MONEM

"Exploding out of the austerity of post-war culture Pop Art was fast, fun and truly democratic. Young art practitioners took up themes widely available through popular culture, politics and consumerism, transforming this 'low-brow' material into high artistic innovation and forever changing the face of fine art. [This book] includes the work of Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton, David Hockney, Jann Haworth, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Peter Blake, Jasper Johns, Nigel Henderson, Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Indiana, R B Kitaj and many other artists whose work spurred on a new era in artistic practice. The book provides a playful introduction to the genealogy of Pop Art, as well as the themes and events that inspired its practitioners, such as American consumer culture, Marilyn Monroe, comics, the space race, Malcolm X, The Beatles, JFK, The Rolling Stones, pin-ups and the automobile."--Back cover.
