Art of the 1960’s Pop-Art by Andy Warhol Pop-Art by Andy Warhol

The movement affected the worlds of art & fashion. The 60’s saw the rise of popular, or pop, art. One celebrated pop artist was Andy Warhol. His work was characterized by bright, simple, commercial looking images such as portraits of soup cans & other icons of mass culture.

Music of the 1960’s Music of the 1960’s The music was a form of protest that grew out of African-American rhythm and blues of the 1950’s (Folk and Rock) The music was a form of protest that grew out of African-American rhythm and blues of the 1950’s (Folk and Rock) The Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, the Who, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and the Rolling Stones The Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, the Who, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and the Rolling Stones In 1969 the appex of the counterculture was the music festival Woodstock In 1969 the appex of the counterculture was the music festival Woodstock The 1970 Concert at Altamont Speedway was a disaster and ended the era of peace and love The 1970 Concert at Altamont Speedway was a disaster and ended the era of peace and love

Perhaps the most influential band was the Beatles. The British group took America by storm & helped rock music become part of mainstream America.

A dramatic example of rock ‘n’ roll’s popularity was an event known as Woodstock. More than 400,000 people attended….far more than expected. For 3 days, popular bands & musicians performed. Despite the crowd, however, the festival was peaceful & well organized.
