Pop Art

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
