The Rise of the Sixties: American and European Art in the Era of Dissent
Contemporary Art since the 1960s has with its break with conventions has challenged the perception of art. It is because of a lack of explanatory narratives and the increase of complexity, so the author Thomas Crow, that contemporary art has left audiences puzzled. Particularly the inheritance of the 1960s faces an onslaught of misrepresentations in a search for a framework of understanding. rnrnThe Author follows a a broad range of artists working in Europe and America during the period 1955 and 1969, in the stormy years of the Civil Rights movement, Vietnam War, and counterculture. In six topic-related chapters (Independence Days; Consumers and Spectators; Living with Pop; Vision and Performance; Artists and Workers; 1969) he explores the relationship of politics and art, art and identity politics, or the upcoming of institutional critique. rnrnHis venture is both a synthesis and critical studies. It weaves together European and American experiences, expressions and developments, and shows the ways in which the American art scene—including such key figures as Leo Castelli, Eva Hesse, Jasper Johns, Robert Morris, Robert Smithson, Cy Twombly, and Andy Warhol fit into the corresponding European and international movements of the time, among them Situationalism, Conceptualism, Feminism, Environmentalism, and Op Art.
