“Psychedelic Drawings” is a retrospective of drawings by Victor Moscoso, one of the pre-eminent graphic artists of the 20th century, widely renowned for his 1960s psychedelic posters and comics.
The best thing of Moscoso is his approach to draw everything from dinosaurs to spaceships. His work had a big impact on the visual culture of the psychedelic era. His lettering, color and imagery make his works instantly recognizable.
Between 1967 and 1970, Moscoso designed over one hundred posters for everyone from the Grateful Dead to Jimi Hendrix to Alan Ginsberg. In doing so, he revolutionized the worlds of graphic design, typography, and rock’n’roll imagery.
Today, his work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York), The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum (New York), the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), The Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Library of Congress (Wash DC), the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Louvre (Paris), the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), and the Tate Modern (London).
