But by mid-decade, that perspective was being challenged by artists such as Andy Warhol, whose Brillo Boxes looked exactly like the real ones; Roy Lichtenstein, whose paintings imitated comic book pages; and Carl Andre, whose floor sculptures were, in fact, slabs of industrial metal. \u003ci\u003eArt and Context\u003c\/i\u003e examines how these pieces and others like them relate to a society bombarded by advertising while also in the midst of a cultural revolution--as evidenced by the growing acceptance of civil rights, feminism, drug use, and sexual freedom--and offers a solid basis for understanding the art of the past half century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Museum of Art\/Washington State University","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47969734394007,"sku":"9780975566220","price":1857.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780975566220.webp?v=1782923662","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/art-and-context-the-50s-and-60s-9780975566220","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
