Abstract (en)

The exhibition, The Pop art show, Royal Academy of Arts, London (1991) and the accompanying catalogue by Marco Livingstone, inspire these thoughts on the exhibition and on the Pop art movement. Asserts that the cult of the child is the main factor which knits the works in this exhibition together, noting that many of the works reflect the artists' recalling their own childhoods--the comic strips and consumer products of the 1930s and '40s are clear sources for many Pop art images.
