"Everything is beautiful," raved Andy Warhol, in raptures at the glamour of modern life, consumer society, and the world of the media and its stars; his proclamation can be considered the maxim of the pop generation, which included artists Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenberg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann, and Richard Hamilton, among others. The pop artists of the 1960s had a profound effect on the cloth of art history and their influence can be clearly seen in art today. Here, Tilman Osterwald explores the styles, themes, and sources of pop art around the world.

All the greats of Pop Art are represented here: Warhol, Lichtenstein, Blake, Keinholz, and Rauschenberg. The Pop Art movement was one that tried not to take itself too seriously, and that sense of fun is very evident here.
Interesting and informative text,as well as large and clear reproductions of the icons of Pop,make this an excellent starting point on the subject. Highly recommended.
