Pop Art is all about copying, simulating, faking. It's superficial, glib and highly aesthetic. This art set begins to explore the aesthetics and motivations that could be related to Pop.
The works I have chosen are all entirely different, but they are linked by their lurid palettes and the artists' take on representation.
