Today's guest is associate professor of Art History Dr. Frida Forsgren at The University of Agder in Kristiansand Norway. She is a notable art history scholar, author of books and has numerous published articles on the subject. She teaches a course in the Beat era (1946-1963). We discuss it's impact on the arts, from the perspective of historical context, motivations, and cultural attitudes of the times. The Beat era represented a cultural renaissance and an interdisciplinary approach that produced a lot of innovative art in all areas (literature, visual art, music, dance, and theater).
