The Who and Pop Art: The simple things you see are all complicated
The article investigates the connections between The Who and Pop Art. It uses Lawrence Alloway's expansive concept of Pop Art, which he defines as a correspondence along a continuum between the commercial and the fine arts. The Who, I argue, exemplify this process of connectivity between the low and the high. The analysis focuses on the contradiction in the received wisdom that the band did little more than willfully exploit Pop Art imagery and t…
Crossover
This essay challenges the received wisdom that teenpix of the 1950s were dominated by a soundtrack of rock 'n' roll. I argue that this cycle of film production was marked by a diversity of musical genres, styles and types.

This st…

Maximum movies
During the 1950s and 1960s, the art critic Lawrence Alloway (1926–1990) began to articulate a theory of the movies that gave equal weight to the industrial processes of production, creative collaboration, and the specialized knowledge that audiences brought to the movies. The emphasis on film cycles, rather than the discrete film, or genre defined in terms of an ideal, enabled a content analysis that valued uniqueness and convention. Alloway show…
