"It was said of Zeuxis, the great artist of ancient Greece, that he could paint a bunch of grapes so realistically that birds would try to eat them," Time magazine wrote in 1962. "This was an impressive skill, but art has long since aspired to more than carbon-copy realism. Now a segment of the advance guard has suddenly pulled a switch. Unknown to one another, a group of painters have come to the common conclusion that the most banal and even vulgar trappings of modern civilization can, when transposed literally to canvas, become Art." This excerpt from Godfre Leung's exemplary Visual Chronology and David Hockney's 1967 "The Room, Tarzana," are reproduced from the Walker Art Center's extraordinary new release, International Pop.
