Artifact Overview

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, graphic designers in the San Francisco Bay area created posters that reflected the then-contemporary psychedelic style. Artists like Daddy Bread-- the alias for William Bostedt-- often referenced turn-of-the-twentieth-century Art Nouveau illustrators like Alphonse Mucha and Alfred Roller. Bostedt (1945-1998) later became known for his airbrushed rock concert posters.
