Lifestyle Illustration of the 60s is a glorious celebration of the Swinging Sixties - a groundbreaking decade heralding a new creativity, freedom and liberation. This lavishly illustrated book surveys how those years were depicted by illustrators for some of the UK's best-selling magazines. Lifestyle Illustration of the 60s is a stunning survey of magazine artwork from the Sixties. It not only provides a fascinating insight into the extraordinary artistic talents of the illustrators featured, but also reveals the social aspirations of this unprecedented era of political optimism and sexual freedom. Tracing the decade's evolution from the homemaking ethos of romantic coupledom to the stylish liberation of mini-skirted Chelsea girls, it features page after page of stunning rediscovered artwork, much of it by the very best artists of the day and provides a wonderful, nostalgic escape into a world of retro sophisticated living.
