«POP ART IS FOR EVERYONE»

«Pop art dates from the mid-1950's and originated almost simultaneously in the United States and Britain. In London the artist-printmaker Richard Hamilton defined it as «Popular» (designed for a mass audience), transient ( short- term solution), expendable (easily forgotten), low cost, mass produced, young ( aimed at youth) witty, sexual-gimmicky: glamorous, and big business»
