Back to the seventies.
If there is one word that characterizes the seventies, it is ‘Action!’ The time when ideals become reality. Rebellious and idealistic young people dream of a society without possessions and an economy of sharing everything. But the oil crisis and increasing environmental pollution soon put pressure on these ideals.

The seventies start with optimism and idealism and end in a crisis atmosphere and unemployment. With Den Uyl as prime minister, a progressive cabinet is formed. Dolle Mina demands fundamental changes. A lot of taboos are broken. Conventions are thrown overboard. We wear colorful clothing. The ‘home consumer’ opts for stone strips, shelving units and the sitting or living pit. Turkish Delight and Soldaat van Oranje are groundbreaking films and on TV the creations of Wim T. Schippers and Ad Vissers Top Pop can be seen. The Great Seventies book in a handy format with plenty of space for beautiful photography that unmistakably portrays the seventies.
