Pop Go the Women: The Other Story of Pop Art The story of pop art has been culturally canonised as the preserve of a ground-breaking gang of boys, focusing on the likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Peter Blake, Richard Hamilton, or Tom Wesselman. Just like Andy Warhol's soup cans or Lichtenstein's comics, women were simply commodified objects. However back in the day, pop art was not just a boys' club. The scene was full of female artists, tussling with sexuality, violence and consumer culture every bit as much as their male counterparts. Strangely, their work has been consigned to the margins of history - they started out together, shared the same art dealers and were shown in the same exhibitions, but as the boys' prices skyrocketed, the girls' stayed put. By the end of the sixties they had pretty much been erased from the pop narrative. In this Culture Show special, Alistair Sooke tracks down the forgotten women artists of pop, finding many of them are still alive and working, their art and their stories ripe for rediscovery. Artists include Pauline Boty, Marisol, Rosalyn Drexler, Idelle Weber, Letty Lou Eisenhauer and Jann Haworth.

Alastair Sooke celebrates the protean genius of one of America's most prolific and original artists, Robert Rauschenberg. Fearless and influential, he blazed a trail for artists in the second half of the 20th century, and yet his work is rarely seen here in the UK. That is about to change with a major retrospective at Tate Modern in December 2016. 　　Rauschenberg was the first artist to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1964, creating a crucial bridge between the abstract expressionists of the 50s and the pop artists who emerged in the 60s. 　　Famous for his 'combines' that elevated the rich junk of life to the status of high art, he continued to work right up to his death in 2008, collaborating with dancers, scientists and social activists on a startlingly broad array of projects. 　　Presenter Alastair Sooke travels to the east coast of the USA to talk to those closest to Rauschenberg to reveal the boundless curiosity and restless experimentation that kept him engaged till the very end of his six-decade career.

二十世纪最重要的艺术形式之一，波普艺术的拥趸，阿拉斯泰尔·苏克将剥去波普艺术空洞、玩世不恭的表面，为观众揭示它内在的颠覆性智慧和激进理念的艺术风格。他将采用一种全新的视角来审视波普艺术大师，安迪·沃霍尔和罗伊·利希滕斯坦的大作，并追溯到这门艺术的先驱者们，包括美国的詹姆斯·罗森奎斯特、克拉斯·欧登伯格和埃德·拉斯查，以及英国的神父彼得·布莱克和艾伦·琼斯。同时，他也将揭示波普艺术是如何让那些名人、广告界和大众媒体为之着迷，并最终掀起了一次席卷全球的艺术运动。此外，阿拉斯泰尔还将前往中国，见证这里新一代的艺术家是如何在二十一世纪对波普艺术进行重塑。

玛丽莲·梦露和麦当娜的头像，菲丽普斯香艳的沙滩女郎，理查德香烟盒都跑到了时装上！波普风潮在今年夏天卷土重来横扫时装界，设计师们转向波普文化中寻求灵感，伴随着音乐、电影和绘画，将波普艺术带入高雅的社交场所和潮流变换的街头。 　　明星的形象最先被印上了T恤；涂鸦式的字母画到了旅行箱上；更多的服装上画满了汽水瓶商标和影视角色的图形，处处都是波普艺术的影子。 　　这个时候，我们不禁会问：这是时装？商业？还是科技？答案莫衷一是。 　　在近10年里，无论在时装、艺术等领域里，文化精英们困惑于神秘而不循正轨的潮流，越是粗糙和深奥，就越受欢迎。时尚走到新一个轮回，一瞬间，整个世界处处都在标新立异、冲破传统。顶级时装品牌都有超级巨星为其宣传。 　　在背后引发这股潮流的是一群年轻人———艺人、服装设计师和形象设计师。他们同时具有诗人的浪漫和商人的精明。有人曾说，对于今天的一些年轻人而言，所谓青春，就是挥霍快乐，所谓时尚，就是自由自在。所以，任何事情混在一起在一些人看来都不算粗俗，这是艺术充斥的时代。一位评论人满含讥讽地这样说道：“ 在20世纪80年代，那时成功意味着低劣的艺术创作。如今，我们意识到好的东西也可以商业化。”POP，波普艺术是英文“大众艺术”的简称，最早起源于 20世纪50年代的英国。艺术家汉弥尔顿用图片拼贴手法完成的《今天的生活为什么如此不同，如此富有魅力？》被认为是第一件真正意义上的波普艺术作品。波普艺术的真正发展是在流行文化发达的美国。 　　美国的波普艺术与20世纪50年代的抽象表现主义有直接的联系，当年轻一代的艺术家试图用新达达主义的手法来取代抽象表现主义的时候，他们发现发达的流行文化为他们提供了非常丰富的视觉资源，时装女郎、广告、商标、歌星影星、快餐、卡通漫画等等，他们把这些图像直接搬上画面，形成一种独特的艺术风格。波普艺术以一种乐观的态度对待流行时代与信息时代的文化，并通过服装等现实的媒介拉近了艺术与公众的距离。 　　在伴随着波普文化的到来，一夜之间发现图案无处不在，构成了夏季的重磅要素，波普文化大肆风行，这种将图案、文字、色彩、线条运用到服饰上，加以夸张和变化，便是个性鲜明的波普艺术。她发起于20世纪五六十年代，源于当时西方的绘画运动，却影响至今。夸张的卡通、幽默的标语、报纸印刷图案，随手的涂鸦，连环画或是肖像拼贴……这一切让简单枯燥的夏天多了幽默轻松和丰富生动。炫色最大的优点还在于，它能给薄衣以强烈的层次感，不会让人感到女人的轻浮，反而更增添了一丝丝的妩媚。

导演点评：本片中只有火车行驶的画面。运用了剪纸和赛璐珞画卡。我剪贴了各类火车的图形，并且配以烟的动画。之所以命名为“POP”，是想体现波普艺术元素和火车行驶时发出的声响。

田上是一位英俊潇洒、风流倜傥的成功创业者，有一天他突然发现自己那“男人的尊严”不见了！更要命的是，他必须在6天内找回来，否则就将永远变“太监”，于是他急切地踏上了“寻根”之旅。曾以《摄影机不要停》创下日本电影界以小搏大票房奇迹的鬼才导演上田慎一郎在这部新作中再次大开脑洞、剑走偏锋，为观众带来一部无厘头风格的鬼马狂想曲。看似荒诞无稽的“寻根”之旅，实际亦是找回初心的成长过程，让观众在捧腹爆笑之余，更能感受到那一丝泪目温情。
