Who branded painting in the Pop age more brazenly than Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein,
Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter, and Ed Ruscha? And who probed the Pop revolution in
image and identity more intensely than they? In The First Pop Age, leading critic
and historian Hal Foster presents an exciting new interpretation of Pop art through
the work of these Pop Five. Beautifully illustrated in color throughout, the book
reveals how these seminal artists hold on to old forms of art while drawing on new
subjects of media; how they strike an ambiguous attitude toward both high art and
mass culture; and how they suggest that a heightened confusion between images and
people is definitive of Pop culture at large. As The First Pop Age looks back to the
early years of Pop art, it also raises important questions about the present: What
has changed in the look of screened and scanned images today? Is our media environment
qualitatively different from that described by Warhol and company? Have we moved beyond
the Pop age, or do we live in its aftermath? A masterful account of one of the most
important periods of twentieth-century art, this is a book that also sheds new light
on our complex relationship to images today
