The Sixties, when the pursuit of sexual revolution and anti-nuclear attitudes have transformed into a social movement, the counterculture has become popular and bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones rocked the masses, was mainly a time when the young people strived to transform the country in hope of a different future. At the beginning of this period, which also found its way in art; David Hockney, a graduate of the Royal College of Art, who moved to Los Angeles in 1964; was among those who shook the country. In 1971, Hockney's drawing for OZ magazine's trial in England signified the end of the hippie dream and has become one of the symbols of British counterculture.</div><div>	<br></div><div>	The event will be held in Turkish.
