Description:

"A timely book that provides fresh perspective on the art of the 1960s. Much as it did for the artists and activists of the Beat and hippie generations, Blake's visionary antiestablishment thought and work can perhaps again offer a reference point for those today who are struggling to produce an artistic response appropriate to the new century's demands."--Michael Archer, author of Art Since 1960

"This is a jewel of a book. It revisits the searing and soaring works of Blake through their reincarnation in the 1960s counterculture, deepening the understanding of both."--Daniel Herwitz, author of The Star as Icon: Celebrity in the Age of Mass Consumption

Review Quotes: "One of the The New York Times Best Art Books of 2017, chosen by Holland Cotter"
