While surfing the web for Psychedelic posters, I came across this one. It immediately grabbed my attention because it reminded me of the homework question asking if Psychedelic should be renamed Art Nouveau Revival. This is because of the combination of visual motifs that are prevalent in this poster that it is ambiguous of both eras.
Typical of the Psychedelic style, the visual motif includes complementary colors and the use warped and bent lettering. What really captured my attention was the use of the feminine figure that was typical of the Art Nouveau period, influenced the Edo Art Period of Japan. The woman is made of many curvilinear lines that are also of the Art Nouveau period. Her coloring is also more pastel along with the title of the event which immediately pulls the eye to the center and most important part of the piece.
The use of this poster is what Psychedelic art was primarily used for: concerts. This can easily be seen by the name of the event along with dates, bands, and ticket information listed at the bottom.
