by Mahsun, Carol Anne
Ann Arbor, Mich: UMI Research Press, 1987. Hardcover. VG. Yellow cloth, blue & yellow & color dust jacket, 146 pp., 22 BW illus. "Art historian Carol Mahsun shows how radical implications for art and its interpretation emerged as the result of this attack on its fundamental notions and functions within society. She describes how pop art broke away from previous critical catalogues and assumptions to enter into a dialogue with criticism itself. Mahsun reviews and critiques the writings of such critics as Lawrence Alloway, Umberto Eco, Clement Greenberg, Allan Kaprow, Max Kozloff, Donald Kuspit, Barbara Rose, and Susan Sontag, and offers alternative approaches to understanding this intriguing art."
