Mixed media on paper // Pool by Joe Tilson, created in 1981, is a mixed media print on paper that showcases the artist's signature blend of text and color. The composition is structured as a grid filled with the repeated word POOL, creating a sense of rhythm and pattern. A vibrant color gradient runs down the right side of the print, transitioning from yellow to green, blue, and red, which contrasts with the monochromatic repetition of the word. Below, swatches of color and texture appear, emphasizing Tilson's experimental approach to media and materiality. Measuring 106 cm × 76 cm, the work invites viewers to explore the interplay between language, color, and visual structure.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
