One of the most important figures in the art world of the 1960s, Andy Warhol was arguably the first celebrity artist. POPISM is Warhol's memoir of the time, and contains a number of different, often contradictory definitions of Pop art, a movement Warhol helped make famous as one of its most flamboyant leaders. Marked by a fascination with popular culture, Pop art often focused on rendering everyday objects and familiar images into artistic creations. POPISM is based in part on the endless reels of audio tape that Warhol obsessively recorded after acquiring a portable tape deck in the mid-60s. Warhol reminisces about his career and the minutiae of his life, discussing with equal emphasis going out to dinner with friends and making the switch from advertising to "art"--first with paintings, including his instantly recognizable Campbell's soup can, and then silkscreen, the period that produced both his Marilyn Monroe and Disaster series. He also talks about his films, many of which were very long and consisted of his famously static images, such as a man sleeping. Written in a conversational style, the book provides a glimpse of the ideas of fame and celebrity in the 1960s and a look into the life of a multitalented artist and man-about-town.
