This presentation traces the origins and development of the Psychedelic Poster Movement in San Francisco during the mid to late 1960s. From its origins in 1965, through the developmental stages of 1966, and on the the blossoming of 1967’s “Summer of Love,” the psychedelic poster emerged as one of the most prominent visual elements of the emerging hippie counterculture. Frequently advertising rock concerts, these posters reveal tremendous artistry and the development of a distinct artistic style.
