Valérie Belin in Esprit POP, es-tu là ?

Les Franciscaines Deauville, France 28 January - 25 June 2023 
A reflection on what the sixties, the pop years, brought and continue to inspire on the aesthetic level.
Sixty years later, we take a look at this so-called "happy" society, sometimes ironically, to better understand what might be lacking in our own.
 
 The singularity of "pop" is defined as an artistic movement linked to the emergence of a mass culture. The artist is no longer this solitary, producing elitist works. He is a man, a woman, who produces words, images for magazines...
The "pop" works, in their quasi-industrial character, fed by the new iconography brought by consumer society, manifest this link with the most democratic forms of culture.
