About the Item

Very nice psychedelic poster from 1968 for the Jeff Beck Group. Lee Conklin's early influences were pen and ink masters Heinrich Kley and Saul Steinberg.After seeing articles featuring Wes Wilson's poster art, Conklin was inspired to visit San Francisco and show his art to Bill Graham. Conklin was soon commissioned to do posters and produced 31 original designs for the Fillmore between 1968 and 1969. Conklin rendered both graphics and calligraphy in intricate detail. What began as a personal challenge to disguise images within images and lettering soon turned into a concerted effort to turn every single letter and figure into another form, stretching the imagination to new limits.

1969 psychedelic poster by Lee Conklin - Santana & Youngbloods all men joy
Located in PARIS, FR
This vivid original 1969 concert poster was designed by Lee Conklin, one of the iconic artists of the psychedelic poster movement, for a legendary series of shows at the Fillmore West in San Francisco. Featuring Santana, The Youngbloods, and Allmen Joy, with light shows by Little Princess 109, the concerts ran May 15–18, 1969. Conklin’s surrealist vision explodes in a cascade of melting forms, vibrant color, and sun-drenched dreamscapes, encapsulating the acid rock aesthetic and the energy of the late-60s Bay Area music scene. His use of morphing hands and searing color waves evoke a hallucinatory trance that pairs perfectly with Santana’s Latin-infused psychedelia and The Youngbloods’ mellow groove. Commissioned by Bill Graham Presents, this is BG #124 in the Fillmore poster...

1969 psychedelic poster created by Lee Conklin for It's a Beautiful Day and Aum
Located in PARIS, FR
Beautiful 1969 psychedelic poster created by Lee Conklin for It's a Beautiful Day and the blues-rock ephemeral Aum at the Fillmore West. Lee Conklin is an artist best known for his psychedelic posters from the late 1960s and particularly for his iconic cover for Santana's first album. At the time, photography was the basis of advertising, while psychedelic graphics were done by hand and were mostly based on an illustration concept. The posters of this movement claim a new aesthetic: the flashy and warm colors, the shapes and moving typography and the density of the motif that invades the space translate the psychedelic vision, often associated with the taking of substances such as LSD.
