Psy<\/span>chedelic<\/span> Movement!<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Psychedelic Art Movement began in the mid-1960s and had an effect not only on music but also on many aspects of popular culture.<\/p>\n

This includes lifestyle, clothing, language, art, literature and philosophy.<\/p>\n

The name “psychedelic” refers to drugs that were popular with the youth culture of the time. (The psychedelic is a concept whose name is derived from the ancient Greek words, translating to “reveal the mind”)<\/p>\n

Visual styles of psychedelic art include curvaceous shapes inspired by Art Nouveau, illegible hand-drawn type and intense optical-color vibrations inspired by the pop art movement.<\/p>\n

Festivals and music concerts were a prominent feature in the 1960s, and musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, The Who, Janis Joplin were the super stars at the time.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to say whether psychedelic music has influenced the counterculture or vice versa. But a unique art form found expression in band posters and album covers.<\/p>\n

The main artists of the psychedelic art movement of the 1960s were posters artists from San Francisco, including Wes Wilson, Mouse & Kelly (Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelly), Victor Moscoso, Rick Griffin, among others.<\/p>\n
