Brief History of Pop Art, A

di K. J. Smith (Autore)

Ashleigh Robertson, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A Brief History of Pop Art explores the colorful and provocative art movement that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, transforming everyday consumer culture into bold artistic statements. Pop Art celebrated — and critiqued — mass media, advertising, and popular icons through striking imagery and repetition. With artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Richard Hamilton leading the charge, the movement blurred the lines between high art and commercial design, elevating soup cans, comic strips, and celebrities to iconic status. The book examines how Pop Art reflected post-war prosperity, the rise of consumerism, and the growing influence of television and print media. It also considers the movement’s global variations, from Britain to the United States, and its lasting influence on contemporary visual culture. A Brief History of Pop Art offers an engaging look at how this revolutionary movement redefined what art could be—accessible, ironic, and deeply embedded in the modern world.
