A central figure in pop art; Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was one of the most significant and influential artists of the later twentieth century. In the 1960s he began to explore the growing interplay between mass culture and the visual arts; and his constant experimentation with new processes for the dissemination of art played a pivotal role in redefining access to culture and art as we know it today. bull; At the height of his fame; Warhol claimed he was "abandoning" painting; shifting his practice towards a commitment to the theoretically limitless channels ofpublishing; film; fashion; music; and broadcasting. It was this "transmission" of art and radical ideas that embodied his ethical conviction that "art should be for everyone". bull; Stephanie Straine is Assistant Curator at Tate Liverpool; and specialises in American art of the 1960s. Her lively yet authoritative text provides the perfect introduction to the life and work of a pioneering artist whose legacy extends into the digital age.

KnodelI downloaded a sample of this book and some of the dances listed in the introduction caught my eye. Unfortunately the only other thing in the sample was a little on the different positions the dancers assume. There should have been dance instructions given for at least one dance and not of just the Waltz (with photos if there are any in this book). In using such a book to learn a new dance I prefer to use a paper edition as I can hold it in my hand or lay it on a table and follow the instructions. Also; there was no indication of a list of music for each dance in this book and where one can purchase this music.I definietly plan to order this book but only as a paper edition. I have learned a few of these dances (and some not listed in this book) years ago and would like to relearn them once again.
