Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. A landmark study of California's visual arts and poetry, 1925 to 1975, 'Utopia and Dissent' demonstrates the profound influence this regional culture had on American art and thought. Combining intellectual and cultural history, it traces the spread of ideas developed in California's pre-World War II bohemian enclaves to mainstream America, where they became a major current of 1950s and 1960s counterculturism.The provincial nature of California's prewar arts institutions, Richard Candida Smith shows, fostered an aesthetics stressing personal expression and the exploration of life's mysteries through creativity. These ideas found expression in the beat generation's soul-searching and informed a decade-long debate about conformity. When America exploded with sociopolitical protest in the 1960s, California quickly became a countercultural focal point for a nation redefining itself. People unfamiliar with the California avant-garde's actual works readily absorbed their ideas as they crossed the line into popular culture.Candida Smith introduces the major figures in California's visual arts and poetry movements: postsurrealists Helen Lundeberg and Lorser Feitelson; writers Kenneth Rexroth, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Wallace Berman; Vietnam War-era poets Gary Snyder and Denise Levertov. Unequalled in scope or depth of scholarship, this book will inform discussions of twentieth-century American arts, literature, and history for many years. 'The most important study of art in California, particularly in terms of avant-garde activity around mid-century, that I am aware of.'--Paul Karlstrom, Smithsonian Institution excellent condition, back cover has a crease.…

Paperback. Condition: Fine. xxvi, 536 pages, [8] pages of plates, illustrations (some colour); 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. *** "A landmark study of the visual arts and poetry in California from 1925 to 1975, Utopia and Dissent demonstrates the profound influence this regional culture had not only on the arts but on the shape of American thought. As much an intellectual as a cultural history, the book traces the spread of ideas developed in California's bohemian enclaves before the Second World War into mainstream American society, where they became one of the major currents of 1950s and 1960s counterculturism. The provincial nature of California's prewar arts institutions, Richard Candida Smith shows, forced experimental artists to concentrate on their personal visions. This led to an aesthetics that stressed the importance of personal expression, the struggle to balance the private and public realms, and a view of the creative process as a means of exploring life's deeper mysteries. Most important, the arts became a source for developing new subjective models of the self. / Richard Candida Smith is Assistant Professor of History, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor." - Publisher.

hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. includes dust-jacket. DETAILS: very good dust-jacket, small tear at mid-spine, attractive copy, near fine black half-cloth with brown boards. CÁNDIDA SMITH, RICHARD. Mallarmé's children: symbolism and the renewal of experience. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1999, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xxiv, 304pp., . "In a narrative combining intellectual and cultural history, Richard Candida Smith unfolds the legacy of Stephane Mallarme, the poet who fathered the symbolist movement in poetry and art. Through the lens of symbolism, Candida Smith focuses on a variety of subjects: sexual liberation and the erotic, anarchism, utopianism, labor, and women's creative role. Paradoxically, the symbolists' reconfiguration of elite culture fit effectively into the modern commercial media. After Mallarme was rescued from obscurity, symbolism became a valuable commodity, exported by France to America and elsewhere in the market-driven turn-of-the-century world., Mallarme's Children traces not only how poets regarded their poetry and artists their art but also how the public learned to think in new ways about cultural work and to behave differently as a result." - CONTENTS: pt. 1.
