Colourful, thought-provoking, eclectic, yet readable Summer of Love is the definitive guide to the art of the psychedelic era. Richly illustrated, the book presents a wide range of images of art works, alongside a wealth of contextual material and ephemera, and a number of informative essays. Covering a wide range of issues, these examine the profound influence of the aesthetics of psychedelia on the art and culture of the 1960s and beyond. At the same time, the book explores the historical context in which this vibrant art was created, an era marked by political protest, the counterculture, recreational drug use, student revolution and sexual liberation. The international list of contributors will include leading academics, cultural theorists, and critics from the worlds of art, film and rock music. The publication's design mirrors the colourful and experimental spirit of the times. Including works from the United States, the UK, Europe and beyond, the book is targeted at an international audience and will serve as a much needed critical reevaluation of this era in art and cultural history.
