Pop Art

Abstract

Abstract Marisa Volpi Orlando’s Arte dopo il 1945, U.S.A. (1969) was the first Italian-language survey book of American art after the Second World War. In this chapter she discusses Pop art and introduces key artists (such as Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg), influential anglophone critics (such as Leslie Fiedler, Lawrence Alloway, Alan Solomon and others) and galleries (Leo Castelli). The translation should be read with Silvia Bottinelli's essay on Volpi, published in this volume.
