| Summary: | "Pop Art and the Origins of Post-Modernism examines the critical reception of Pop Art in America during the 1960s.

Perceived through these disciplinary lenses, Pop Art arises as not only a reflection of the dominance of mass communications and capitalist consumerism in post-war American society but also as a subversive commentary on worldviews and the factors necessary for their formation."--BOOK JACKET. |
