Hardback. Condition: Good. How California?s counterculture of the 1960s to 1980s profoundly shaped?and was shaped by?West Coast artistsThe 1960s exert a special fascination in modern art. But most accounts miss the defining impact of the period?s youth culture, largely incubated in California, on artists who came of age in that decade. As their prime exemplar, Bruce Conner, reminisced, ?I did everything that everybody did in 1967 in the Haight-Ashbury. . . . I would take peyote and walk out in the streets.? And he vividly channeled those experiences into his art, while making his mark on every facet of the psychedelic movement?from the mountains of Mexico with Timothy Leary to the rock ballrooms of San Francisco to the gilded excesses of the New Hollywood. In The Artist in the Counterculture, Thomas Crow tells the story of California art from the 1960s to the 1980s?some of the strongest being made anywhere at the time?and why it cannot be understood apart from the new possibilities of thinking and feeling unleashed by the rebels of the counterculture.Crow reevaluates Conner and other key figures?from Catholic activist Corita Kent to Black Panther Emory Douglas to ecological witness Bonnie Ora Sherk?as part of a generational cohort galvanized by resistance to war, racial oppression, and environmental degradation. Younger practitioners of performance and installation carried the mindset of rebellion into the 1970s and 1980s, as previously excluded artists of color moved to the forefront in Los Angeles. Mike Kelley, their contemporary, remained unwaveringly true to the late countercultural flowering he had witnessed at the dawn of his career.The result is a major new account of the counterculture?s enduring influence on modern art.…

Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. 1st. xi, 342 pages, illustrations (some colour); 24 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light shelfwear. *** "In a career that spanned five decades, most of them spent in San Francisco, Bruce Conner (1933--2008) produced a unique body of work that refused to be contained by medium or style. Whether making found-footage films, hallucinatory ink-blot graphics, enigmatic collages, or assemblages from castoffs, Conner took up genres as quickly as he abandoned them. His movements within San Francisco's counter-cultural scenes were similarly free-wheeling; at home in beat poetry, punk music, and underground film circles, he never completely belonged to any of them. Bruce Conner belonged to Bruce Conner. Twice he announced his own death; during the last years of his life he produced a series of pseudonymous works after announcing his 'retirement.' In this first book-length study of Conner's enormously influential but insufficiently understood career, Kevin Hatch explores Conner's work as well as his position on the geographical, cultural, and critical margins. Hatch finds a set of abiding concerns that inform Conner's wide-ranging works and changing personas. A deep anxiety pervades the work, reflecting a struggle between private, unknowable, interior experience and a duplicitous world of received images and false appearances. The profane and the sacred, the comic and the tragic, the enigmatic and the universal: each of these antinomies is pushed to the breaking point in Conner's work . . ." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction: A tomfool in the Emerald City; "It has to do with the theater"; Cinema memoria; Really looking; Burning bright.
