Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-eight

Résumé du livre

This book looks back at the tumultuous year of rebellion which signalled wideranging changes in culture, society and politics. Idealism, altered consciousness, new popular music and experiments in social and personal relations were paralleled by explosive new brands of art. Op, Pop, Minimal, Conceptual, Earth Art and Happenings, and experimental film and video usurped traditional painting on canvas and sculpting in bronze and stone. The work of Australians Martin Sharp and Richard Larter is set alongside those from overseas: Robert Crumb s comic strips, Christo s packed coast, Roy Lichtenstein s screenprints, and the work of Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono and Bridget Riley.
