Rockabilly Art

Rockabilly Art Art in Many Forms

Rockabilly art comes in many forms. There are plenty of different definitions as to what art is, but most agree that music, painting, drawing, writing, and sculpture are all forms of art. Rockabilly art takes on many of these forms. Rockabilly, emerging first as a musical genre, is obviously an art form in and of itself. Rockabilly music is a combination of several different elements taken from other styles, like the heavy beats and sultry rhythms derived from the 1950’s blues style, and the twang of early country. Obviously, the first form of rockabilly art was music.

However, much more was to follow. The poetic verses sung (and often yelped and stuttered) as part of the music could very well be considered rockabilly art. Poetry is one of the most popular forms of art, verbally and emotionally expressive material that bares the soul. Also, much rockabilly art was in the form of jewelry. Many works of art came in the shape of pendants worn by women. Rockabilly art was also found in fashion. The style of dress adopted by followers of the rockabilly movement was imitations of the King, Elvis Presley, and other rockabilly stars, like Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis. Pinups, another form of rockabilly art, were also idols which were imitated in dress, these most often copied by women in order to draw men’s attention. Even hairstyles were a work of art for the 1950’s rockabilly fan. Today, those who continue to follow the movement not only collect vintage rockabilly art; but also attempt to turn themselves into works of art. Copying the style, they pay tribute to those who were symbols of the sub-culture before them. Rockabilly artwork even takes the form of tattoos today, worshiping the look of the original icons of the 1950’s.
