The Book Club of California presents the "In Case You Missed It: Counterculture Photography of the 1960s and 1970s" a stunning portrait of an era that lit up briefly but brightly—Los Angeles in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Capturing the imagination of modern filmmakers and cultural tastemakers, this period of iconic imagery, changing social landscape, and free love in Los Angeles has sparked renewed interest through its representation in films like Licorice Pizza and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Eclectic, politically active, and filled with flowing fabrics in a rainbow of hues, the photography of de Wilde captures how a vibrant time in Los Angeles shifted the view of the city as it moved into a new era of awareness and enlightenment.

An in-person presentation by Jerry De Wilde, author, photographer, and former Associate Professor of Fine Art Photography, Woodbury University, Los Angeles, California
