70s Art Style

A LOOK AT

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ART OF THE 1970S

CULTURAL CHANGES

The 1970’s was an exciting time to be an artist since many cultural and socio-political changes informed the art of the 70’s and helped establish the norm for a widespread critical approach to art creation.

WOMEN IN ART

It is one of the most profound decades in art history that provided society with insight into land art, feminism, the body, and ephemeral themes with the emergence of female voices in art.
