Revolution in the Head, 1960s Counter Culture

The lecture today was a continuation of the previous lecture based on 1950's America. We took an in depth look into the art of the revolution in the 1960s, and what lead up to such a shift in culture. To see the contrast between the happy, utopian art of the 50s, and the anger fuelled art of the 60s was fascinating. The attitude that the artists of the time possessed was powerful, and that evidently translates into their work. The colour, the shape, the lack of conformity of the work collectively emanates rebellion. The lecture also made me ponder on the current political climate - I believe a similar anger is building currently. I think a reflective shift in culture and art has slowly begun, so it will be interesting to observe how prevalent that shift will be.
