This book offers a radically new perspective on the so-called ‘Pop Art’ creative dynamic that has been around since the 1950s. It does so by enhancing the term ‘Pop Art’ which has always been recognised as a misnomer, for it obscures far more than it clarifies. Instead, the book connects all the art in question to mass-culture which has always provided its core inspiration.

Renowned art historian and author of a number of successful works on Turner, Warhol, Constantin Brancusi, and David Hockney, Eric Shanes is also an art correspondent for the BBC. His lectures on art are highly sought after throughout the United Kingdom and across America. He is also a painter.
