Hipių subkultūros vaizdinys Raimundo Urbono asmeniniuose albumuose ir meninėje fotografijoje
The Image of Hippy Subculture in Raimundas Urbonas’ Personal Albums and Art Photography

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the personal photo albums of photographer Raimundas Urbonas (1963–1999), reflecting the period of the author’s life related to the hippy subculture (1976–1983), and the artistic photography cycle “Requiem for Old Jeans” (1987), created on the basis of the photos in these albums. Based on the cultural and art historical analysis, it is stated that the photos, texts and graphic design in R. Urbonas’ personal albums preserved the image of the hippy subculture, related to the photographer’s social and cultural environment, as well as the period of political stagnation and the end of the hippy “era”. The transfer of personal photos to the field of art caused a more generalized image of the hippy subculture, removed from personal memories and documentary, in which the importance of the intuitively perceived emotional content and existential questions became evident.
