Melanie Ross explores how Paul Morrissey's film "Flesh," used the visual vocabulary of Andy Warhol to advocate for conservative morals and foreshadowed a shifting attitude of public values. Morrissey changed Warholʼs filmmaking techniques from a self-reflexive avant-guard mode to a commercial approach. The film was released in 1968, the cataclysmic year of the counterculture rebellion.
