Gallery label | Through its marketing, 1960s psychedelic music attempted to create a visual interpretation of the adventurous sonic worlds of the genre. The decade's explosion of mind-altering music and culture took inspiration from Art Nouveau, Surrealism, and 19th century graphic art. The posters advertising events at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco began to define the style with text and images floating like waves of sound. The influence of these visuals extended way beyond psychedelic rock, representing a whole era of pop culture.(2019) |
