To be cool means to exude the aura of something new and uncontainable.
Cool is the opposite of innocence or virtue.
Someone cool has a charismatic edge and a dark side.
Cool is an earned form of individuality.
Each generation has certain individuals who bring innovation and style to a field of endeavor
while projecting a certain charismatic self-possession.
They are the figures selected for this exhibition: the successful rebels of American culture.
