funk art

Style of art inspired by popular culture that used an unlikely mixture of materials and techniques, such as painting, sculpture, and found objects. Its name derived from the musical term ‘funky’, describing the passionate, sensuous, and quirky. It was a popular art form in the 1960s and 1970s, mainly in the USA. Funk artists such as Robert Hudson, Roy de Forest, William Wiley, James Nutt, and Gladys Nilsson treated their work with humour (sometimes vulgar) and autobiographical narrative.
