1979 Renaissance

The 1979 Renaissance is a term given to the year 1979 from an art and cultural point of view. Huge growths in the popularity of French and Dutch art, music, and festivals, both on a national and international scale, leads the year to be known as a brief rebirth of the classic Renaissance Period in Europe between the 14th and 16th centuries. The most popular artworks depicted French and Dutch women nude waving flags. On January 1, 1980, everybody suddenly lost interest in these topics and moved on to wacky hairstyles, vigorous workout routines, and new-wave synth-driven music.
