Many people believe that the qualities and development of Pop art have been quite obscured. Never a movement and never cohesive, but rather a sensibility, Pop art is slowly evaporating, as some and incestuous mélange of styles that questions the very mechanics of vision and thought. To be sure, one still meets a strategy of resistance, which thwarts or postpones the perception of content, but now it is gotten up in the new guise of an entente cordiale harder and harder to label journalistically. By displacement or magnification or discontinuity, what is called Pop art is sliding into a larger inquiry of self-concern in which the strictly kitsch element fades away or becomes more transparent.
