The Beat and the Hip @West
The Beat and the Hip: San Francisco Art from the 50s to the 70s
San Francisco was a happening place at midcentury: big new ideas about music, poetry, life and love were all developing in what was then a small city. Art, of course, was also in flux, and some uniquely Bay Area artists and styles challenged New York’s dominance of the American art scene. Discover the work of David Park, Richard Diebenkorn, Joan Brown, Jay DeFeo, and more as we explore the art world of San Francisco’s Beatniks and Hippies.
