American Pop Art Lecture

The work of both Isabella Losskarn and Jeff Schofield, on view in OMAM's main galleries, exhibit the lasting influence of late 20th Century American Pop Art. This lecture with guest curator, Ruth Grim will look at the radical innovations of Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and the others that made up the American postwar Pop Art movement that flourished from the 1950s to the 1980s. With the rise of consumerism in the boom years after WWII, these artists turned to imagery based on commonly found objects, popular graphic arts, and other mass-produced printed works.
