Psychedelic Poster Art

Psychedelic Beginnings The sixties were the age of youth, children from the post-war baby boom became teenagers and young adults. The times moved away from the conservative fifties thinking and a cultural revolution was started in America. The youth of the sixties wanted change in their generation, unsatisfied with the precedent set by the previous generation. These changes would touch education, values, lifestyles, laws, and entertainment. For a brief time, Pscyhedelia was a reflection of the times of 1960s youth culture

Signs of the times The Civil Rights movement made great changes in the 1960’s The Civil Rights act of 1964 was amended to include women Birth control became widely available and abortion for cause was legalized in Colorado

Signs of the times Respect for authority declined among the youth and crime rates increased greatly compared to the 1950 Marijuana use sky rocketed as well as use of LSD (was said to open the mind) The hippie movement promoted drugs, rock and roll music and sexual freedom They opposed violence and endorsed peace The legendary Woodstock Festival was first held Hippies moved to Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco; East Village, New York or lived in communes.

Signs of the times

The CIA attacked Cuba at the Bay of Pigs John F. Kennedy was a young, well loved president in the 1960s. He was assassinated in 1963 The draft was accelerated and anti- war sentiment grew in the U.S. College students organized anti-war protests, draft dodgers fled the country and soldiers were becoming disrespectful to authority, aiming their anger at our government Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Robert Kennedy were all assassinated in the 1960s Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren in Apollo 13 were the first to walk on the moon

Influences Psychedelic poster art was used as a form of social expression rather than posters of previous times that were used as advertisements These posters were displayed in people’s homes rather than in public places This style was also used to promote concerts and albums

Influences Psychedelic style was largely influenced by the flowing curves of art nouveau even though this was not the style that preceded it Along with art nouveau, psychedelic style also used Austrian secessionist lettering, East Indian symbols, Victorian typography, with a drug inspired palate and a comic book style It was a union of art, literature, culture and music Newspapers, magazines, posters, album covers, clothing, jewelry, furniture and cars were all media for which this style was utilized

Psychedelic Style Psychedelia was a visual code that viewer who could decipher this code with the naked eye or with the help of drugs became a part of an “underground” family These posters were used to pack auditoriums filled with their target audiences; the members of the “underground” family The name itself stems from the drugs that were popular during this time Poster artists tried to reproduce the experience of “tripping” or being “high” in their art
