Tripping Down Memory Lane with Woodstock Nation Art

 

If you experienced music in the rain, bell bottoms, neon colors, dizzying patterns, genuine tie dye and hair, lots of hair - you're probably a member of Woodstock Nation. I survived it all, and still love my patched jean jacket, boots and macrame decorations.

I also love the art and graphics from the Sixties - this lens pays homage to popular sixties artists, their work and their legacy with continuing influence on pop culture. I am an unabashed fan of Warhol, Max, Haring and Escher (okay, they're not all sixties artists but they influenced it or were inspired by the artists from that period ) ...

Roots and Influences of Sixties Art (op-art and pop art graphics) 

You are what you eat - especially if you study other artists

Popular art of the sixties, including op art (or optical art) grew from the innovative styles of earlier artists including Escher, Vasarely, Warhol, Lichtenstein and Riley.
