This is a book from Taschen, I actually have it in my home because I've always been a pop art lover.
I like a lot the book cover because it is very simple and it has a piece that represents very well this art movement from the XX century. The font is very simple because there is already too much information on the image used for it, so that is what makes it look good.
I am a social communicator, and this type of art takes images from the popular culture from the mass media (like advertisings) and give them a new meaning, using the "kitsch" aspect of some cultural element. So in this type of art I find two things that I love the most: mass media communications and art. All in one single piece.
The Pop Art is the result of a life style, is a manifestation of culture, of the use of technologies, democracy, fashion , in some way it shows the life style that most of us have nowadays; because it always represent the habits, ideas and appearances of the contemporary world. And this book cover looks a lot like it.
