Pop art: Difference between revisions

 

* The farther West we drove, the more Pop everything looked on the highways. Suddenly ''we all felt like insiders'' because even though Pop was everywhere – that was the thing about it, most people still took it for granted, whereas we were dazzled by it – to us, it was the new Art. Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again. The moment you label something, you take a step – I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabeled. We were seeing the future and we knew it for sure.. ..the mystery was gone, but the amazement was just starting. [on a trip to Warhol's show in Los Angeles, Fall of 1963)

 

* Pop art is the inedible raised to the unspeakable.
