Synopsis

Art changed in a big way in the 1960s; it was no longer something just to look at and appreciate for its aesthetic qualities. The traditional ideal of connoisseurship was out; art as consciousness-altering experience was in. Looking at art through the lens of psychedelic experience and culture, New York Times critic Ken Johnson reveals an unexpected and illuminating dimension of art since the 1960s. Weird new forms proliferated. Would art have developed as it did in the past fifty years? Would it be the way it is now, if psychedelics and psychedelic culture had not been so popular? Johnson's pioneering study may change the way we see contemporary art.
