Stalwart of Pop Art is Andy... (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

partisan

'stalwart' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'of pop art is andy' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PARTISAN' can be found hidden inside 'pop art is andy'.

(Other definitions for partisan that I've seen before include "Guerrilla" , "Prejudiced towards one side" , "Enthusiastic supporter" , "Enthusiast" , "champion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
