Opis

The vibrant fine arts and mass culture that the US exported to Britain in the postwar period had a powerful and far-reaching impact on many British artists, art students and critics. In a social and cultural history covering the period from the 1940s to the 1990s, but with emphasis on the 1950s and 1960s, John Walker offers an account of America's Cold War cultural offensive and the role played by American artists living in Britain.
