This book, first published in 1987, tells the intriguing and
culturally complex story of the art school influence on postwar
British popular music. Following Romantic attitudes from life class
to recording studio, it focuses on two key moments - the early
1960s, when art students like John Lennon and Eric Clapton begin to
play their own versions of American rock and blues and inflected
youth music with Bohemian dreams, and the late 1970s, when punk
musicians emerged from design courses and fashion departments to
disrupt what were, by then, art-rock routines. Sixties rock
Bohemians and seventies pop Situationists were, in their different
ways, trying to solve the art students' perennial problem - how to
make a living from their art. Art Into Pop shows how this problem
has been shaped by the history of British art education, from its
nineteenth-century origins to current arguments about 'pure' and
'applied' training. In their simultaneous pursuit of authenticity
and artifice, art school musicians exemplify the postmodern
condition, the collapse of any distinction between 'high' and 'low'
culture, the confusions of personal and commercial creativity. And
so high pop theorists rub shoulders here with low pop
practitioners, experimental musicians debate avant-garde ideas with
corporate packagers, and artistic integrity becomes a matter of
making oneself up.
