This book offers the first in-depth
analysis of the relationship between art and design, which led to the creation
of 'pop'. Challenging accepted boundaries and definitions, the authors seek out
various commonalities and points of connection between these two exciting areas.
Confronting the all-pervasive 'high art / low
culture' divide, Pop Art
and Design brings a fresh understanding of visual culture during
the vibrant 1950s and 60s. This was an era when commercial art became graphic
design, illustration was superseded by photography and high fashion became
street fashion, all against the backdrop of a rapidly-evolving economic and
political landscape, a glamorous youth scene and an effervescent popular
culture. The book's central argument is that pop art relied on and drew
inspiration from pop design, and vice versa. Massey and Seago assert that this
relationship was articulated through the artwork, design, publications and
exhibitions of a network of key practitioners. Pop Art and Design provides a case study in the broader inter-relationship
between art and design, and constitutes the first interdisciplinary publication
on the subject.
