Tripping Down Memory Lane with Woodstock Nation - Pop Art, Rock Art, Acid Rock Art, Peace Symbols
This Sixties Art lens pays homage to graphic and fine artists of the 1960s - their work and their legacy with continuing influence on pop culture. If you experienced music in the rain, bell bottoms jeans, 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. The 1960s - my teen years - shaped my personal style and I have a closet filled with funky clothes and hats that I wear all the time.
I'm an artist, and I absolutely still love the art and graphics from the Sixties. I confess I'm an unabashed fan of Warhol, Max, and Escher (okay, they're not all sixties artists but they influenced it or were inspired by the artists from that period ) ... and I really like the sixties-influenced work of contemporary artists Shepard Fairey and Banksy, and of course Keith Haring.
This work of love nostalgia lens (I'm a child of the sixties, born in 1951!) earned a Purple Star Award on December 6, 2010.

- Hey, yes, this is an interesing topic that somewhow always stays fresh! Pop culture is a great modern phenomenon that helps us live a fuller life! In my country (Russia) they show a programm on TV that is called "Pop artists". It is a contest of pop artists from New York, and it is very interesing to watch how many artistic people compete and show their talents in so many different ways!
