Pop Art and the Origins of Post-Modernism examines the critical reception of Pop Art in America during the 1960s. Comparing the ideas of a group of New York-based critics; including Leo Steinberg; Susan Sontag; and Max Kozloff; among others; Sylvia Harrison demonstrates how their ideas - broadly categorized as either sociological or philosophical - bear a striking similarity to the body of thought and opinion which is now associated with deconstructive post-modernism. Perceived through these disciplinary lenses; Pop Art arises as not only a reflection of the dominance of mass communications and capitalist consumerism in post-war American society; but also a subversive commentary on worldviews and the factors necessary for their formation.

Great way to learn about your neighborhood!By ReadMoreI moved to the Bay Area a year ago; and I love the Arcadia titles for learning more about the areas history. There are many great titles about each area of the city and more. Check out the title on SF Giants baseball.
