Scope and Contents

This scholarly, informative and well illustrated catalogue describes the adventures of the post-WWII artists who searched for new forms of liberty in art beyond aesthetic conventions of the moment or social norms. The exhibition was organized in two sections:1952-1968 and 1968-1994. The catalogue also includes a section of music and cinema, a chronology organized by year and event location and a bibliography. Most of the text consists of interviews of the participants. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
