About the Item
In 1966, Wes Wilson, a pioneering figure in psychedelic art, created a visually striking poster for the Muddy Waters Blues Band. This poster is a quintessential example of how psychedelic art intertwined with the burgeoning music scene of the 1960s, reflecting the era’s distinctive aesthetic and cultural dynamics.
Wilson’s poster is emblematic of his innovative approach to graphic design, characterized by swirling, fluid patterns and vibrant colors that seem to pulse with energy. The typography is particularly notable; Wilson’s use of distorted, wavy letters captures the experimental spirit of the time, creating a sense of movement and rhythm that mirrors the music it promotes.
At the center of the design is a bold depiction of Muddy Waters, a seminal figure in blues music. The artist’s expressive portrait is rendered in intense, contrasting colors that enhance the psychedelic vibe, highlighting Waters' powerful stage presence and musical influence. The visual representation effectively conveys the emotional depth and dynamism of Waters' performances.
The poster’s design reflects the broader cultural context of the mid-1960s, when psychedelic art was gaining prominence alongside the rise of countercultural movements. The psychedelic style, with its emphasis on abstract forms and vibrant colors, was deeply intertwined with the era's music scene, especially in the context of live performances and rock 'n' roll culture.
Wes Wilson’s work on this poster is a prime example of how graphic design and music merged during this transformative period. His use of psychedelic motifs not only captured the essence of the music but also contributed to the overall visual language of the 1960s counterculture. This poster, in particular, stands out as a vibrant celebration of Muddy Waters’ contribution to blues music, as well as an embodiment of the psychedelic aesthetic that defined the era.
Today, the 1966 Muddy Waters Blues Band poster by Wes Wilson is a collector’s item and a piece of historical significance, representing a unique intersection of art, music, and cultural expression. It remains a vivid testament to the power of psychedelic art to enhance and celebrate musical experiences, reflecting the dynamic energy of one of music's most influential periods.

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.

Born in Spain and raised in Brooklyn, Moscoso attended Cooper Union Art School before studying at the Yale School of Art; he arrived on the west coast in 1959 to enroll at the San Francisco Art Institute, and after graduation remained at the school for another five years to teach lithography.
