Art in Europe since 1945
Ten programmes which take a look at the look and the attitudes of the last twenty-five years
Written and spoken by Paul Overy
Pop art is largely an American and British phenomenon. In tonight's programme Lawrence Alloway, arch-priest of pop in London in the 1950s, explains how he and his artist friends got interested in American culture, and then in American pop art. The next generation of British pop artists have developed their own style, but all pop artists show an awareness of the urban scene.
