Abstract

Abstract: Based on her reading of the survey of Pop Art, edited by Lucy Lippard (1966) and the Time-Life book American Painting 1900 − 1970 (1971), the Soviet art historian Tatyana Yureva analyzes US Pop art, seeing in it a perfectly comprehensible movement of 1960s postmodernism, emerging from the local political culture with its own precise rules and well-defined creative aspirations. Although firmly grounded on a Marxist analysis, her account served to introduce US Pop art to the Soviet Russian public and confirmed the broadening interests of the Russian readers on the eve of perestroika .
