PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
As befits its title, Alastair Sooke's introduction to pop art is a colourful little book that should appeal to aficionados and casual admirers alike ... a well-researched and authoritative introduction to the movement ... a hugely engaging read. -- Alexander Larman The Observer A great introduction to what reveals itself to be a shifting and elusive 'movement' Time Out A clear and lively outline of the history of pop art ... full of interesting facts and anecdotes that make the book (unlike so much art criticism) ... a pleasure to read. The Sunday Times Sooke is an immensely engaging character. He has none of the weighty self-regard that often afflicts art experts and critics; rather he approaches his subjects with a questioning, open, exploratory attitude -- Sarah Vine The Times A brilliant account ... So poetically precise in its evocations of the cut-outs ... so tender in its sympathy -- Peter Conrad on 'Henri Matisse: A Second Life'
