Pop Art

by Tilman Osterwold

"Everything is beautiful," raved Andy Warhol , in raptures about 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 Oldenburg , Robert Rauschenberg , James Rosenquist , Tom Wesselmann , and Richard Hamilton , among others.

The pop artists of the 1960s had a profound effect on the fabric of art history and their influence can be clearly seen in art today. Here, Tilman Osterwold explores the styles, themes, and sources of pop art around the world.

"Ce livre met parfaitement en lumière les styles, les thèmes, la diversité des origines et des expressions nationales du Pop Art, complétant l’ensemble par la biograhie des artistes les plus importants du mouvement."

Truly a pleasure to read it. Osterwold's writing is engaging and informative, and I found myself thoroughly enjoying learning about the history and development of Pop Art.
The images included are also stunning and really enhanced my understanding of the movement. Overall, I would highly recommend it

Compared to developmental history, it focuses more on individual issues or distinctive arguments. Each chapter is a proposition, particularly enjoy the articles in the first half.
Additionally, regarding the gender issues in Pop Art, I think it's the best-written article I've come across so far.
