Summary: "Throughout the 1960s and 70s, London-based Big O Posters helped define the new and democratic art medium of the psychedelic poster. This is a comprehensive collection of works published by Big O artists, astonishingly creative folks whose artistry developed almost completely outside the influence of the art establishment. Included in more than 300 images are works by 19 artists whose signature styles include sci-fi, fantasy, visionary, botanical, and surrealism. In addition to hundreds of original works, this book digs below the surface to offer insights and anecdotes about the era, the artistic process, and reveals connections to artists from the past whose spirit chimed with the age of Big O Posters."--Provided by publisher.
