This entertaining book introducing young readers to the world of Pop Art is the latest addition to a series whose "compelling layouts allow the art to excite young imaginations." (ARTnews) Large, colorful, and bold, Pop Art is particularly appealing to younger viewers. This engaging introduction to the Pop Art movement--from its inception in the 1960s through the 1980s--takes readers on a colorful journey in which Coca Cola bottles, tubes of toothpaste, soup cans, shower curtains, movie stars, comic books, and cartoon characters are the stuff of creativity and inspiration. The book considers work by artists such as Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Edward Ruscha, and Andy Warhol. An inviting text and dynamic format reveals to young readers how art reflects the world around them and how they can create their own art through observations they make in their daily lives.
