Art.

The 1960s was a tumultuous decade. It saw the Vietnam war and the Peace movement

Color Field Abstraction melted pools of luscious color or formed hue rainbows, and in the hands of Morris Louis or Kenneth Noland, did so on a very large scale.

Art continued.

Abstract Expressionist painting being produced by well known artists like Robert Motherwell, Lee Krasner, and Barnett Newman. Plus, earlier traditions were being continued.

The figure was reborn, as was geometric and painterly abstraction, and so many aspects of life during that wild ride known as the Sixties.
