Art of the 1960s

The art of the 1960s was characterized by experimentation and breaking traditional boundaries. Artists explored new materials and ideas, often reflecting societal changes like civil rights, anti-war movements, and cultural shifts. Popular styles included abstract expressionism, pop art, minimalism, and conceptual art. Iconic figures like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein blured the lines between fine art and commercial imagery, while others emphasized simplicity and process. This era fostered innovation, encouraging artists to challenge conventions, embrace new technologies, and express individual perspectives on a rapidly changing world.
