About This Book
"Pop Art: U.S./U.K. Connections, 1956-1966 looks only at artwork by American and British practitioners that is considered "pure" Pop. This definition of Pop rests on the adoption of preexisting or received images from mass media sources of advertising, television, and movies - images that convey the personalities, common objects, and scenery of vernacular culture.
The techniques utilized, however, varied: the Americans generally used a more reductive method, arriving at a centralized iconic image, while the British preferred an episodic approach that generated an implied narrative. As the essays in this book make clear, Pop Art promoted no specific agenda beyond the investigation of the prevailing American environment."--BOOK JACKET.
