A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Whaam!
When the kitschy, banal, and mass-market became art
Peaking in the 1960s, Pop Art began as a revolt against mainstream approaches to art and culture and evolved into a wholesale interrogation of modern society, consumer culture, the role of the artist, and of what constituted an artwork.

Focusing on issues of materialism, celebrity, and media, Pop Art drew on mass-market sources, from advertising imagery to comic books, from Hollywood's most famous faces to the packaging of consumer products, the latter epitomized by Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup cans. As well as challenging the establishment with the elevation of such popular, banal, and kitschy images, Pop Art also deployed methods of mass-production, reducing the role of the individual artist with mechanized techniques such as screen printing.

With featured artists including Andy Warhol, Allen Jones, Ed Ruscha, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Lichtenstein, this book introduces the full reach and influence of a defining modernist movement.

Présentation de l'éditeur

El arte pop, que alcanzó su punto álgido en la década de 1960, surgió como una revolución contra las concepciones establecidas del arte y la cultura y acabó cuestionando todos los aspectos de la sociedad moderna, la cultura del consumo, el papel del artista y lo que constituye una obra de arte.

Centrado en temas como el materialismo, la fama y los medios de comunicación, el arte pop bebió de fuentes del mercado del consumo, ya fueran imágenes publicitarias, cómics, rostros famosos de Hollywood o envases de artículos comerciales, epitomados estos últimos en las latas de sopa Campbell’s de Andy Warhol. Además de desafiar el establishment mediante el ensalzamiento de tales imágenes populares, banales y kitsch, el arte pop desplegó métodos de producción en serie y desdibujó el papel del artista singular con la adopción de técnicas mecanizadas como la serigrafía.

Con artistas como Andy Warhol, Allen Jones, Ed Ruscha, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg y Roy Lichtenstein, este libro presenta todo el alcance y la influencia de un movimiento moderno decisivo.
