This poster was created by Peter Max, one of the most famous psychedelic artists of the counterculture movement. This Art Nouveau-inspired print was his most iconic and popular work from his Cosmic ‘60s period. This was an essential component of the ’60s youth movement due to its visual contrast to the music of the Beatles, Hendrix, etc. Peter Max was an activist through his art. His style was a bold type that employed shocking color juxtaposition and transcendental themes, which is recognized as fine art today.
This poster executes Max's signature and innovative color technique on press that creates a smooth color-blended background.
