Item description from seller

Paperback. A reevaluation of American art of the 1960s that foregrounds the role of surrealism during a period of social and political upheaval Challenging what we think we know about art of the 1960s, this volume moves beyond the established movements of pop art, minimalism, and conceptualism to shine a light on how American artists created a unique type of surrealism, making works suffused with eroticism, dread, wonder, violence, and liberation. A series of essays reveals how this new surrealism enabled artists to reconnect art to an increasingly untethered reality following the period of rapid postwar transformation and to imagine new worlds and models for art rooted in political and social change. Presenting a new framework to understand the work of artists such as Lee Bontecou, Franklin Williams, Nancy Grossman, Mel Casas, Yayoi Kusama, Jim Nutt, John Outterbridge, Ralph Arnold, H. C. Westermann, Romare Bearden, Louise Bourgeois, Christina Ramberg, and Robert Arneson, this study features an expansive chronology that highlights how a broad group of artists across the United States connected to each other through exhibitions, galleries, and collectives, offering a fresh perspective on how artists in the 1960s harnessed psychoanalysis, wordplay, and assemblage, among other strategies, to create new horizons for subject matter and form that continue to reverberate in American art today. Distributed for the Whitney Museum of American Art Exhibition Schedule: Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (September 24, 2025January 29, 2026) "A fascinating look at how American artists of the 1960s created a unique brand of surrealism to reconnect art to an increasingly untethered reality and create new horizons for subject matter and form that continue to reverberate in American art today"-- Provided by publisher.
