9783866788367: Glam: The Performance of Style

Synopsis

Glam originated in the early 1970s and is still one of the most unmistakable and critically disregarded style phenomena of the art and cultural history of the 20th century. Known above all by the music of this era, the style with its proximity to theatricality, artificiality, mythologization and androgyny is also found in other art forms. To the renowned authors, Glam serves as a prism through which they analyze the art, music, and fashion of the time and shed new light on the extravagance of that period. The publication provides a detailed insight into the art and performance and reveals how ideas of fine arts have taken their way at the forefront of popular culture. Artists including: BENGLIS, Lynda Bourdin, Guy BYARS, James Lee Chaimovicz, Marc Camille General Idea Gertsch, Franz Goldin, Nan Goldstein, Jack HAMILTON, Richard Harrison, Margaret Hujar, Peter JARMAN, Derek JONES, Allen KLAUKE, Jürgen MCLE.
