Themes And Movements: Pop

Author(s): Mark Francis

Photography

From the late 1950s to the late 1960s, the word Pop summed up everything in music, art, film, photography and architectural design that flowed from the seductive appeal of mass culture. Unlike books which present Pop art in isolation, this is a comprehensive survey of Pop in all of its forms across America, Britain and Europe.
