In 1965, British artist and university lecturer John Jones left the United Kingdom
with his wife and daughters to live in the United States for a year and interview
some 100 artists. The family moved to Greenwich Village and spent three months on
a road trip west to visit artists beyond the immediate reach of New York. Some of
the artists, like Yoko Ono and Claes Oldenburg, became Jones's personal friends. Although
Jones's daughter Nicolette was young, her memories of New York and their trans-American
adventure are vivid. Published here for the first time, this book presents a fascinating
selection of Jones's edited conversations with American artists practicing in 1965-66.
A foreword by Nicolette contextualizes the setting in which these interviews took
place, and a further introduction amalgamated from Jones's lectures in which he drew
on these conversations illustrates and explores the range of contrasting ideas behind
what became known as pop art.00Thanks to his personal interaction with the artists
and his knowledge of their work, Jones became the foremost expert in the art of this
period in the UK. Amid a unique family story, this is art presented not through the
filter of art critics, but from the mouths of the practitioners. Jones's interviews
explore a specific place and time: the United States in the 1960s, and are crucial
reading for those wishing to understand the decade and the influence of American art
and British tradition on each other, as well as anyone curious about the famous figures
of the time and the thinking that gave rise to this extraordinarily fertile creative
moment
