Summary

"Pop Art -- an entirely new and defiantly American style of painting and sculpture -- was all the rage among the cultural cognoscenti in the turbulent 1960s, and New York City was the unquestioned epicenter of Pop Art. No artist embodies this groundbreaking movement more than Roy Lichtenstein, the only Pop Artist born in the city and whose life and experiences there inspired much of his most popular and iconic work. This book looks at Lichtenstein's life through the lens of New York City, taking the reader to the Manhattan that Lichtenstein knew, from the Prohibition era through the postwar era and countercultural revolution to the well-heeled iconoclasm of the 80s and 90s. It is a fascinating biography of a major but sometimes neglected trailblazer of 20th-century American art"-- Provided by publisher.

Description

A length of a novelty printed silk, Mallinson trade name "Mandarin Crepe." This is a plain weave having a distinct cross thread . The design, which was hand block-printed, is titled "The Development of the Loom," and within reserves created by stylized modernist flowers sit three types of looms: hand loom, early power loom, jacquard loom - all captioned. Figures in period-appropriate dress also inhabit the reserves with the looms. The treatment is modernist, with bold lines, stylized flower forms, and a loose, painterly style of drawing and coloring. The captions and selvage inscription are in black in a freehand printed style. Designed by Martha Ryther for Mallinson.
