Some fine answers has been given down the line. However, I just can´t
resist promoting my own web-site, since I´m a member of this group and
probably the only ???? popartist around here.
More over I´m something as strange as a danish pop-artist....

I was thinking, as I viewed magazine ads,
that Tom Wesselman is one of the few
"Pop artists" I can think of who has
stayed true to that genre. IMO at least...

Apart from that it would be nice to know something about the "thruth"
of the genre ?
To me there has really only beem TWO significant popartists: One is
Warhol the other is Rauschenberg.
Now the Mr. R. is - alive by the way - most likely not to be called
pop but dada or neodada.
Still it is safe to call the genre of mixtures between photografics
tranfered to canvas and traditoinal painting for popart, allthoug the
word is frequently used to describer other creations as well.
Now I think that in the light of art-history the two will stand as
growing inportant artists, because they put reality back into
painting, in a time when ecerybody else tried to move away from it.

Could it be due to a lack of new ideas, or are those nudes too lucrative a
vein to risk abandoning?

Glad to see you admitting that Rauschenberg is perhaps not a pop-artist. I
think he's only called a pop artist because he's of that generation. He's
more of a conceptualist.
(And of course Pop has itself been called a kind of neo-dada, which
sometimes it is.)

I wouldn't say so.

Mostly anything that represents industrial art (advertising, packaging,
cartoons, signs, TV, popular cinema, etc.) as it's main subject matter, or
copies the techniques of those forms, and does so in an apparently
celebratory way.

But what about Eduardo Paolozzi, the guy who in the first place spread the
idea of using pop subject matter and sources in art? As pop-art's
forerunner, his historical significance has to be considerable, don't you
think? (A similar case could be made for Richard Hamilton's role.)

Maybe it's simply an obsession with Wesselman.
When it comes to 'men' and 'nude women'
it's hard to know,IMO. And if one
can profit from one's obsession, then
why not. PLAYBOY and Hugh Hefner come
to mind in that context.
