Chapter 21: The Poster Mania

The majority of 1960's posters were not advertisements, they were statements about social views such as the public protest against the Vietnam War.  These posters were called psychedelic posters, they used swirly forms and warped lettering and seemed to be related to rock music and drugs. They were not hung on the streets but rather in apartment buildings.  I found it interesting that Victor Moscoso was the only major artist during this movement who had formal training and that the pioneers of this era were all self- taught.  Would you consider this style to have been caused by rebellion?
