POP SURREALISM : The Rise of Underground Art

Hardcover

Coffee Table Book

Kirsten Anderson

Many of the main figures of the movement are represented, including Todd Schorr, Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Joe Coleman, etc.; there are over 150 full-colour images by 23 artists all printed on quality, glossy art-paper, with three short but illuminating introductory essays.
Since this was published in 2004, the Pop Surrealist movement has mushroomed and is now recognised as a subversive global art movement; this is a nice guide to where it began inspiring and fun to leaf through.

With its origins in the 1960s hot rod culture and underground comix and rock music posters, Pop Surrealism/Lowbrow Art has evolved and expanded into the most vilified, vital, and exciting movement in contemporary art. Pop Surrealism is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of this movement featuring twenty-three of today's most important and interesting artists.
