Very interesting, had lots of art included that wasn’t just Andy Warhol style, it has broadened my understanding of pop art and definitely inspired me! I did find it quite difficult to read, however that is probably because I am only 14. I also noticed there were no women included in this book except for as the subject of the art. And after some research I have found that there is no lack of female pop artists from the time period. The author has decided, whether consciously or not, to exclude any mention of the women who helped shape the pop art world as much as any man.

Este libro cambio completamente mi perspectiva sobre el Pop art. No conocía algunos de los artistas expuestos en el libro, entre ellos Edward Ruscha, Peter Phillips, Claes Oldernburg, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Hamilton. El trabajo de cada obra expuesta de los nombres anteriormente mencionados me pareció increíble y realmente veo la influencia de estos artistas en mis últimos trabajos. La calidad de las imágenes de las obras es excepcional y el tamaño del libro permite observar las obras a buen detalle.
Si buscas conocer más sobre este movimiento artístico y sus mayores exponentes, este libro te encantará.

A discussion / description of a style of art.

I found this book difficult to get into and some of the pieces shown were bland / awful.

Bastante farragoso y sin estructura en la explicación. Contiene datos interesantes pero te deja con más dudas sobre el pop art que cuando lo empiezas

[Lewis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Competent array of displays and explanations. A fair guide for people new to the scene.

Es una lectura interesante y tipo divulgativa que se construye como introducción básica para comprender del Pop Art.
