American pop art

The works in the volume are those exhibited in the Whitney Museum's American Pop Art survey - the first major retrospective exhibit of this exhilarating contemporary art whose principal themes are taken from advertising, comic strips, motion pictures, and other forms of popular culture. The combination of Alloway's brilliant exposition and the one-hundred-and-five illustrations, ten in color, provides an illuminating experience, a visualization and understanding of this complex, exciting, typically American art movement. -- from dust jacket.
