This eye-popping book offers a visual history of the psychedelic sensibility. In pop culture, that sensibility is associated with lava lamps, album covers, and 'teashades,' but it first manifested itself in the extreme colors and kaleidoscopic compositions of 1960s Op Artists. The psychedelic sensibility didn't die at the end of the 1960s; Psychedelic traces it through the day-glo colors of painters Peter Saul, Alex Grey, and Kenny Scharf, the pill and hemp leaf paintings of Fred Tomaselli, the intensified palettes of Douglas Bourgeois and Sharon Ellis, and mixed-media and new media works by younger artists in the new millennium. Although the term 'psychedelic' was coined to describe hallucinatory experiences produced by drugs used psychotherapeutically, the story these images tell is about the influence of psychedelic culture on the art world-not necessarily the influence of drugs. As contemporary art evolved into a diverse and pluralistic discipline, the psychedelic evolved into a language of color and light. In Psychedelic, more than seventy-five vivid color images chart this development, exploring the art chronologically, from early Op Art through recent work using digital technology. The book, which accompanies an exhibition organized by the San Antonio Museum of Art, includes three essays that set the works in historical and cultural context." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Stimuli for a new millennium, by David S.

Ayres Houghtelling, Cover design by Robert A. Shipman (illustrator). Pathways in Science: Biology 2 (1969) is a vintage American classroom textbook distinguished by its striking mid-century illustration program, credited throughout to Ayres Houghtelling. The book pairs clear, structured biology instruction with full-color and two-color visual plates that reflect the era's modernist approach to educational design - symbolic anatomical cutaways, stylized human figures, and concept-driven imagery that bridges science, art, and visual culture. These illustrations, produced at the height of late-1960s graphic experimentation, give the volume an aesthetic presence that extends well beyond its original classroom use. This copy remains structurally sound and visually clean, with bright pages and no writing or markings within the textblock. Student ownership markings are limited to the covers and front flyleaf only, leaving the instructional and illustrated content untouched and highly presentable. Ayres Houghtelling was a mid-20th-century American illustrator and designer known for his work in scientific, educational, and institutional publishing during the 1950s-1970s. His illustrations combine modernist clarity with symbolic and occasionally surreal elements, reflecting the period's shift toward visually engaging pedagogy. Houghtelling's credited work in textbooks like Pathways in Science places him within the broader lineage of mid-century instructional designers who helped shape the visual language of postwar science education. Joseph M. Oxenhorn was a New York City educator and administrator who served as a biology and general science department head and later as principal at multiple NYC public schools. He also chaired the New York City Board of Education's Junior High School Science Syllabus Revision Committee and authored numerous science textbooks and technical manuals. His work reflects the mid-century push toward modernized, visually engaging science education.

Art changed in a big way in the 1960s; it was no longer something just to look at and appreciate for its aesthetic qualities. The traditional ideal of connoisseurship was out; art as consciousness-altering experience was in. Boundaries between conventional media such as paintings and sculpture stretched and dissolved. Hierarchical distinctions between high and low culture became irrelevant. Weird new forms proliferated. Would art have developed as it did in the past fifty years, would it be the way it is now, if psychedelics and psychedelic culture had not been so popular? To answer that question, Ken Johnson, the veteran art critic of The Germany Times, has examined a broad array of art of the past half century, from Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty to Pipilotti Rist's recent swooningly trippy video installation at the Museum of Modern Art and Richard Serra's warped, spiralling mazes of inches-thick Corten steel, looking not just for obvious signs of psychedelic style but for an underlying psychedelic ethos animating the art. Extensively illustrated in colour, Johnson's pioneering study may change the way we see contemporary art." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Through a psychedelic lens; What is psychedelic experience?; Why the '60s?; O pioneers; From expanded cinema to cyber-psychedelia; High concept; Vision into paint / paint into vision; One pill makes you larger, one pill makes you small; Sex and sensibility; Deliriums of decadence; A great awakening; My utopia.

First Edition, First Printing. Signed by David Edward Byrd & Robert von Goeben. Hardbound, as new in dust jacket. Poster Child: The Psychedelic Art & Technicolor Life of David Edward Byrd is a stunning retrospective on the art and stories behind one of rock ÕnÕ rollÕs most influential artistsÑwritten by Byrd and author Robert von Goeben. Foreword by Marc Myers, Award-Winning Author of Rock Concert: An Oral History. Beginning in the late 1960s, graphic artist David Edward Byrd pioneered the iconic visual styles that have come to define rock ÕnÕ roll graphics. Byrd created poster, concert, and album art for Jimi Hendrix, the Who, Lou Reed, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Ravi Shankar, Traffic, Van Halen, the Grateful Dead, the 1969 Woodstock Festival, and KISS, among others. In fact, the 1968 poster that Byrd created for the Jimi Hendrix Experience was voted #8 in the Top 25 Rock Posters by Billboard. Beyond this, he created the iconic imagery for many Broadway shows, including Follies, Godspell, Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Shop of Horrors, and more. Byrd is considered one of the foremost graphic artists of 20th-century pop culture, and yet, he has never achieved widespread name recognition. Poster Child shares the artwork of ByrdÑincluding never-before-seen sketches of famous posters for celebrated musiciansÑwith incredible accompanying anecdotes about his encounters with rock ÕnÕ roll legends, which combine to create a book that is sure to thrill music lovers and cultural connoisseurs alike for its visual vibrancy and storytelling.

1st edition. "Masters and Houston draw on a combined 15 years of research with pyote- and LSD-type substances to explain and discuss the nature of psychedelic experience and its effect on creativity. They clrify the distinction between the "psychedelic sensibility" of artists such as Bosch, Blake, and Tchelitchew and the true psychedelic experience, and lay firmly to rest the notion that "all art is psychedelic". The works themselves are presented in 30 pages of full colour reproductions and 110 illustrations in monochrome." 28cms x 21.5cms x 2cms. Pp.190, illustrated throughout, slight fading to edges of endpapers. Orange cloth has fading to top edges and base of spine. Dustwrapper has 3cm tear to top of spine and 2cm tear to base of spine, chipping to edges and crease to corner of inner front flap. Scarce. G+/Good.
