Elliot Landy | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

In the turbulent sixties, the Vietnam War was raging. The frontiers of civil rights and personal consciousness were being redefined. Young Americans were challenging and rejecting traditional values and the society in which they lived - the so-called Establishment. The Woodstock Festival was a manifestation of this group consciousness-the desire to create a free, loving and just world. Elliott Landy, the event's official photographer, created this book to capture and preserve the true vision and pure essence of the festival - what it was like to be part of the sixties, sharing the spirit of unlimited hope, optimism, and belief that the world can be made better through peace and love. The book affectionately chronicles what it was like to have been at Woodstock. In addition to featuring over a dozen in-depth essays the book has nearly 200 photographs that are classic images by some of the best photographers of the day: Ralph Ackerman, Henry Diltz, Dan Garson, Charles Harbutt, Elliott Landy, Lisa Law, Peter Menzel, Amalie R. Rothschild, Shelly Rustin, Joseph Sia, Burk Uzzle, and Baron Wolman.
