Looking Outward.

1969
There were flowers and birds and idyllic pastoral scene in addition to heroic scenes of combat with fierce beasts. Usually at least one jauntry kawk (partridge) was present. Bejeweled female hands touching a telephone were also a popular vogue. As the years progressed changing urban social values were satirically commented on. Later in the 1960s government bureaucrats, overly zealous about modern introducing modern conformity, attempted to forbid the painting of trucks, preferring solid dark green instead. But this never succeeded.
