Multi-coloured Marilyn

"This is the real painting," said the nine year old with some amazement, looking at the pop art on the walls of the Art Gallery of NSW. 

His reaction shows perhaps just how much impact the pop artists had - every nine year old is familiar with 'art' images in a way that my generation was not.

The Art Gallery of NSW has included an art corner for children in the exhibition, with games and colouring equipment and it was very well used on the day we visited.
