POP spirit, are you there?

A reflection on what the sixties, the pop years, have brought and continue to inspire on the aesthetic level.
A look is taken sixty years later, on this society called, sometimes with irony, "happy", to better understand what could be lacking in ours.

The singularity of "pop" is defined as an artistic movement linked to the appearance of a mass culture. The artist is no longer this solitary, producing elitist works. It is a man, a woman, who produces words, images for magazines...

The "pop" works, in their quasi industrial character, nourished of the new iconography that brings the consumer society, manifest this link with the most democratic forms of the culture.

Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, dialogue with William Klein, David La Chapelle or Nina Childress.
