Abbie Hoffman, Mick Jagger, Ken Kesey, and Grace Slick are among the iconic 1960s figures immortalized in pictures and commentary by this legendary photographer from Rolling Stone magazine's early heyday. An affectionate tribute that juxtaposes cooled-out hippies in Haight-Ashbury against history-making shots of huge rock concerts and peace marches, the book portrays the youth revolution in full swing and showcases the writers, musicians, movie stars, organizers, and political leaders that made it happen. Aside from some of the most recognizable photographs from the 1960s, many of the shots are rare or little-known, providing freshness and immediacy to a revealing overview of a tumultuous decade.

The Sixties: Photographs by Robert Altman
The Sixtiesâ„¢ have always held a particular fascination for me, that "decade" which, as Altman's own Author's Note asserts, stretches from 1967 to about 1974, and encompasses a state of mind much more than any specific number or range of years. This probably has at least something to do with the fact that my experience of the counterculture was always indirect, at two removes'separated by time, of course, but also by geography. San Francisco was where it was at, baby'there were other loci (and the genii thereof), of course, but my own home town and state were never what you might call Youth International Party headquarters.
In short, I wasn't there. But Altman was. In fact, I'd say that's at least half of his considerable talent'sure, he's an excellent photographer in a technical sense; he knows how to focus and where to point the lens'but in addition, he is adept at putting himself where the action is. At having something to shoot.
The pictures here speak for themselves'they have to; there is almost no text other than a brief caption, place and date for each image. If you're looking for a narrative, you'll need to look elsewhere'perhaps that Time-Life book that I've written about before. But if you want to see the Sixties... they're right here.
