Pop Art is the most important 20th-century art movement. It brought Modernism to the masses, making art sexy and fun with coke cans and comics. Today, in our age of selfies and social networking, we are still living in a world defined by Pop. <\/p>\n

He reveals a global story, tracing Pop’s surprising origins in 19th-century Paris to uncovering the forgotten female artists of the 1960s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
