Description: Bold colours, alluring surfaces, unpredictable forms - the exuberant qualities of 1960s British art are well known. Less familiar to many is the defined order that often underpinned the art of the period, an order founded on repetition, sequence and symmetry. Bringing together outstanding examples of painting and sculpture from the Arts Council Collection and other major UK collections, Kaleidoscope: Colour and Sequence in 1960s British Art offers a fresh and renewed perspective of the period, looking across media and movements, from the brightly-coloured abstract forms of New Generation sculpture to the mind-bending surfaces of Op Art, the flattened motifs of Pop, and the mathematical order of the Constructionists. --Publisher's website.
