How did poster artists of the 1960s capture the new generation of music, lifestyle, and design? By stealing from the past! Join curator Mary Weaver Chapin as she explores how artists crafted an utterly new visual language and identity using inventive lettering, eye-popping color, and surreal juxtapositions sourced from disparate eras and cultures. Old West memorabilia, Art Nouveau design, drug-influenced visions, and cats (yes, cats!) contribute to the psychedelic mash-ups by these pioneers of a strange and evocative style that defined an era.
