ILLUSTRATION & THE COUNTERCULTURE OF THE 1960s

This is an updated - and hopefully improved - version of one of the earliest videos I made which had problems because of my naive use of copyrighted music from the period. But even now I've made a couple of blunders for which I apologise. The two posters by Bob Masse were actually created retrospectively, despite the posters having dates on them. Masse did create a few at the time but not that early. And at the end the Souixsie poster should have been credited to Mouse not Moscoso.

Because the video only covers half a decade I haven't dealt with the subject chronologically. Instead it's broken down into the various forms of graphic expression in which the work appeared.

And if you're looking for deep sociological and political analysis of the period you are going to be seriously disappointed. I try to just stick to the pictures and the people who made them.
