Editing Beatnik (section)

===Art===
"Beatnik art" is the direction of [[contemporary art]] that originated in the United States as part of the beat movement in the 1960s.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LBUMRQAACAAJ |title=Styles, Schools and Movements: The Essential Encyclopaedic Guide to Modern Art|last=Dempsey|first=Amy|date=2010|publisher=Thames & Hudson|isbn=9780500288443|language=en}}</ref> The movement itself, unlike the so-called "[[Lost Generation]]" did not set itself the task of changing society, but tried to distance itself from it, while at the same time trying to create its own counter-culture. The art created by artists was influenced by [[jazz]], drugs, [[occult]]ism, and other attributes of beat movement.<ref name=":0" />

The scope of the activity was concentrated in the cultural circles of New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and North Carolina. Prominent representatives of the trend were artists [[Wallace Berman]], [[Jay DeFeo]], [[Jess Collins]], [[Robert Frank]], [[Claes Oldenburg]] and [[Larry Rivers]].

The culture of the beat generation has become a kind of intersection for representatives of the creative intellect of the United States associated with visual and performing art, which are usually attributed to other areas and trends of artistic expression, such as [[Assemblage (art)|assemblage]], [[happening]], [[funk art]] and [[Neo-Dada]]ism. They made efforts to destroy the wall between art and real life, so that art would become a living experience in cafes or jazz clubs, and not remain the prerogative of galleries and museums. Many works of artists of the movement were created on the verge of [[Intermedia|various types of art]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xPqXMHktT0EC |title=In Memory of My Feelings: Frank O'Hara and American Art|last1=Ferguson|first1=Russell|last2=Calif.)|first2=Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles|date=January 1, 1999|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=9780520222434|language=en}}</ref>

Artists wrote poetry and poets painted, something like this can describe the processes taking place within the framework of the movement. Performances were a key element in the art of beats, whether it was the Theatrical Event of 1952 at [[Black Mountain College]] or [[Jack Kerouac]] typing in 1951 the novel ''[[On the Road]]'' on a typewriter in a single session on a single roll of 31-meter long paper.<ref name=":0" />

Representatives of the movement were united by hostility to traditional culture with its conformism and brightly degenerate commercial component. They also did not like the approach of traditional culture to hushing up the dark side of American life – violence, corruption, social inequality, racism. They tried through art to create a new way of life based on the ideals of rebellion and freedom.<ref name=":0" />

Critics highlight the artist [[Wallace Berman]] as the main representative of the movement. In his work concentrated many of the characteristic features of hipsters, especially in his collages made on photocopied photographs, which are a mixture of elements of pop art and mysticism. Among other artists and works, one can single out the work ''The Rose'' by the artist [[Jay DeFeo]], the work on which was carried out for seven years, a huge painting-assembly weighing about a ton with a width of up to 20 centimeters.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kulturologia.ru/blogs/160313/18068/|title=Весомое замечание: самая монументальная в мире картина маслом от Jay DeFeo|website=Kulturologia.ru|access-date=2019-09-19}}</ref>
