The Sound “1966”

This poster is arguably the most iconic of the psychedelic poster movement. Perhaps because the job called for advertising so many shows, Wes Wilson was able to submerge the headliners behind the simple, mind-blowing summary of the whole trip, calling it, “The Sound.” Wilson, more than the other artists of the time, used the nude feminine form as part of his Art Nouveau-influenced flowing representations of the psychedelic experience – not to mention evoking the sexual revolution that was unfolding at the same time.
