'Yab Yum' by Paul Kagan-1968

Welcome to the
' 60s Art'
BookStore

From concert posters, psychedelic posters and handbills, graffitti,
outrageous cartoons of urban life and political satire, portraits of rock stars and legends
--histories of poster art that is never ending.

It has been totally amazing to me that there aren't more Art Books from the 60s-although,
I suspect that most of the great artists from this period will eventually publish their work before they depart us..
....like so many of the artists of the past.

Off The Wall
by Amelie Gastaut, Jean-Pierre Criqui

In the mid-1960s,
San Francisco rock, or psychedelic rock, emerged in Haight-Ashbury,
fueled by the use of hallucinogenic drugs like LSD.

Groups and musicians such as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane,
Big Brother and the Holding Company, Santana, and others rose to prominence

and in turn influenced musical groups around the United States
and in other parts of the world, from the Velvet Underground
to Sly and the Family Stone to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

The posters announcing the concerts that were held at places such as the
fabled Fillmore and the Avalon Ballroom matched the revolutionary music
with their brilliant, swirling colors and hallucinogenic imagery.

Created by some of the most inventive graphic designers of the era,
including the "Big Five" of psychedelic poster design—
Wes Wilson, Victor Moscoso, Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, and Stanley "Mouse" Miller—
these groundbreaking posters reflect a singular moment in the history of American culture.

This book features more than one hundred of the most striking and
unconventional posters from this memorable period,
stunningly printed in five colors to best reproduce the
rich hues and dizzying patterns of the originals.
The accompanying text covers the history of psychedelic rock music,
explains the influences of Art Nouveau, Op Art, and other art movements on the poster design,
and discusses the contributions of dozens of artists to the medium. 120 color illustrations.

'Hippie Beads' by Robert Van Santen-1967

The Twentieth Century Artistic Movements

"The twentieth century's most radical literary and artistic movements0
have tended to overturn one another in rapid succession.
The revolution took various names as it proceeded:
Cubist, Futurist, Suprematist, Constructivist, Synchromist, Modernist,
Dadaist, Surrealist, Abstract Expressionist, Existentialist, Situationist, Beat, Psychedelic, Pop, Op, New Wave,
and _______________(fill in the blank with the name of tomorrow's movement).
Modern artists challenged tradition, disregarded previously accepted ideals of morality and beauty,
dissolved distinctions and categories, and refuted reason at every turn.
Art in the twentieth century has been a defiant exhibition of wisdom."

"Twentieth-century art has often made a direct statement against the materialism and militarism of the times.
Artistic protests ranged from Picasso's contorted, suffering images in Guernica
to Jimi Hendrix's screaming guitar version of the U.S. national anthem
to the two female performance artists, one American and one Vietnamese,
who tied themselves together with a twelve-foot rope for an entire year.

This century has seen especially murderous acts or orchestrated in the name of the greater glory of humanity,
and many artists have gone to the barricades, trying to get our attention in order to expose the deceit
of the governments and profiteers and to offer alternatives to the barbarity.

"These artists have stood naked before us, revealing their own nightmares,
which share the common terrors of the spirit of darkness."

Excerpts From--CrazyWisdom by Wes Nisker.

Rick Griffin
by Rick Griffin
Psychedelic strangness brewed deep within the boiling pot called the human skull.
Vivid, colorfull, other worldly. Deeply profound.
A religious expieriance in art form. Cryptic and occultic.
Art work the likes we will never see again. Praise Jah. Praise Griffin.
