Art Rock

Norwegian title: Kunstrock

Torgrim Eggen

The third generation of rock consisted of slightly different types of people than the previous two. Roxy Music, Kraftwerk and David Bowie considered rock music to be a visual art form as much as musical craftsmanship.

By finding a position that looks both back and forth at the same time, they created pop music that still seems completely new and bold, over 40 years later. Art Rock is a music book with slightly larger perspectives, which touches art history, politics and the biographical.
