Add to SetSummary
As part of the counterculture of the 1960s, graphic artists looked to the 1890s for an alternative to mainstream design. Concert posters influenced by the Art Nouveau style became ubiquitous. For this Rolling Stones poster, artist David Byrd took the visual structure, central female figure, and color gradation used by Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha and updated them for the 1960s.
