Pop Art: Object and Image (1968)

“Since art criticism is one of the few remaining branches of fiction that has not been exploited to the point of exhaustion, we may reasonably hope to see a broadening of its scope within the fairly near future. No longer can any special prerogatives be awarded to the roles of artist, poet, critic, saint.”

Early overview of the British and American Pop Art scenes, illustrated with numerous black-and-white photos (plus a few color images). Authored (with insight and wit) by British-born artist and critic Christopher Finch, known for his influential books on pop art, animation, and popular culture.
