Entries (RSS) Pop Art
Pop Art embodied the spirit of the 1960′s. Despite its carnival aspects, its orgiastic colour and giant scale, it was based on a tough, no-nonsense, no-refinement standard appropriate to its time. Here several critics, each involved in Pop Art, but with different backgrounds, vividly bring the movement to life. Lucy Lippard examines Pop’s procursors and related styles, ranging from folk art, Surrealism and Dada, Stuart Davis and Legar, to the Reuben group, Assemblage, Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, and then discusses Pop Art in New York. |
