From Cage's minimalism to Chris Burden's radical performance art two decades later (in one piece he had himself shot), the postwar American avant-garde shattered the divide between low and high art, between artist and audience. They changed the cultural landscape. Feast of Excess is an engaging and accessible portrait of 'The New Sensibility,' as it was named by Susan Sontag in 1965. The New Sensibility sought to push culture in extreme directions: either toward stark minimalism or gaudy maximalism. Through vignette profiles of prominent figures--John Cage, Patricia Highsmith, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, Anne Sexton, John Coltrane, Bob Dylan, Erica Jong, and Thomas Pynchon, to name a few--George Cotkin presents their bold, headline-grabbing performances and places them within the historical moment. This inventive and jaunty narrative captures the excitement of liberation in American culture. The roots of this release, as Cotkin demonstrates, began in the 1950s, boomed in the 1960s, and became the cultural norm by the 1970s. More than a detailed immersion in the history of cultural extremism, Feast of Excess raises provocative questions for our present-day culture"-- Artists United States Biography Intellectuals United States Biography Extremists United States Biography Avant-garde (Aesthetics) United States History 20th century Art, American 20th century American literature 20th century History and criticism Performance art United States History 20th century HISTORY / United States / 20th Century bisacsh MUSIC / History & Criticism bisacsh ART / American / General bisacsh United States Intellectual life 20th century United States Civilization 1945- https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190218478.001.0001/acprof-9780190218478 Uni Basel: Volltext https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190218478.001.0001/acprof-9780190218478 Uni Basel: Volltext https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190218478.001.0001/acprof-9780190218478 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 University Press Scholarship Online History Collection Oxford Scholarship Online History E-Books von 360MarcUpdates Oxford Scholarship Online IDSBB A145 A145 145VT IDSBB A145 A145 145VT IDSBB B405 B405 405VT NELB4052004 IDSBB 100 1- Cotkin George 1950- author IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190218478.001.0001/acprof-9780190218478 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190218478.001.0001/acprof-9780190218478 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190218478.001.0001/acprof-9780190218478 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 408489030
