pop art portraits

Went to see this exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery this afternoon. I am trying to take advantage of being a student with a lot of spare time while it lasts (it won't last).

I was taken back into the age of 'mass consumer culture' for an hour or so, and it was really interesting. I was tempted to look for dissimilarities between that age, and this one now, in which we all strive to find and offer as much customisation as possible. But I couldn't really.
