Pop Art, which reached its height in the 1960s, progressed from its origins as a rebellion against conventional approaches to art and culture to a thorough examination of contemporary society, consumer culture, the function of the artist, and what constitutes an artwork.
Pop Art, which focused on concerns of materialism, celebrity, and media, drew on mass-market materials such comic books, advertising images, Hollywood's most well-known actors, and the packaging of consumer goods, which was best exemplified by Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup cans. Along with upsetting the status quo by elevating such commercial, banal, and kitschy images, Pop Art also used mass-production techniques, diminishing the importance of the individual artist with mechanical methods like screen printing. 
With featured artists including Andy Warhol, Allen Jones, Ed Ruscha, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Lichtenstein, this book introduces the full reach and influence of a defining modernist movement.
