Grove Press | 1968 | ISBN: N/A | English | 200 pages | PDF | 28 MB
"Psychedelic art" has become a popular phrase, and its style has invaded almost every area of design from neckties to television commercials. However, the tremendous interest in things psychedelic has created a publicity explosion that has overshadowed and misrepresented the serious psychedelic art movement, and thus most of its works are practically unknown. Psychedelic experience begins with an expanded awareness, and may proceed from there through deepening levels of consciousness to the most profound mystical union. Through the in of psychedelic drugs, for the first time in Western culture a large number of artists have been able to experience what only a few have before. The implications of this are vast, and reach into other areas besides art.
