ARTnews, November 2007, v106, #10, online edition
In 1963 the young art critic G. R. Swenson set out to define Pop art through a series of interviews with eight leading artists associated with the new movement. ARTnews reprinted the interviews with Jim Dine, Robert Indiana, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Stephen Durkee, Jasper Johns, James Rosenquist, and Tom Wesselmann as one of their 'TopTen Stories'. Almost 50 years later, although much has changed, Pop remains. James Rosenquist's comments about how the "onslaught of media and advertising images made painting seem very old-fashioned, so digital art and technology have today rendered all traditional art forms questionable." Barbara A. MacAdam is deputy editor of ARTnews.
