The Independent Group (1952-55) was formed at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London, with Eduardo Paolozzi, Lawrence Alloway, Richard Hamilton, Reyner Banham, Alison and Peter Smithson and Toni del Renzio as members. As the first group of British artists to introduce mass-media images into art, they have been hailed as 'the fathers of Pop'. In Fathers of Pop, Banham discusses the group's ideas and sources of inspiration with Hamilton, del Renzio, and Alloway, while photographs by Nigel Henderson evoke the atmosphere of post-war Britain. The members recall the formation of the group and the vast collection of 'found' objects shown by Paolozzi at the first meeting, their shared fascination with magazines and advertising, and their admiration for American popular culture of the day, in particular automobiles and movies. At the same time, however, they were becoming aware of the destructive capabilities of the new technology, epitomised by the atom bomb.
