Cover thumbnail for Beat/Funk Beat/Funk

Beat and Funk – art developed by Beat Generation artists, poets, and musicians in San Francisco in the mid and late 1950s. By the 1960s, the deliberately rough and unpretentious use of materials alongside the use of humor, puns, and satire came to characterize this anti-establishment style.
