Psychedelic art (also known as psychedelia) is art, graphics or visual displays related to or inspired by
psychedelic experiences and hallucinations known to follow the ingestion of psychedelic drugs such as
LSD, psilocybin, and DMT. The word "psychedelic" (coined by British psychologist Humphry Osmond)
means "mind manifesting". By that definition, all artistic efforts to depict the inner world of the psyche may
be considered "psychedelic".

In common parlance "psychedelic art" refers above all to the art movement of the late 1960s
counterculture, featuring highly distorted or surreal visuals, bright colors and full spectrums and animation
(including cartoons) to evoke, convey, or enhance psychedelic experiences. Psychedelic visual arts were a
counterpart to psychedelic rock music. Concert posters, album covers, liquid light shows, liquid light art,
murals, comic books, underground newspapers and more reflected not only the kaleidoscopically swirling
colour patterns of psychedelic hallucinations, but also revolutionary political, social and spiritual sentiments
inspired by insights derived from these psychedelic states of consciousness.

Origins [edit]

Psychedelic art is informed by the notion that altered states of consciousness produced by psychedelic
drugs are a source of artistic inspiration. The psychedelic art movement is similar to the surrealist
movement in that it prescribes a mechanism for obtaining inspiration. Whereas the mechanism for
surrealism is the observance of dreams, a psychedelic artist turns to drug induced hallucinations. Both
movements have strong ties to important developments in science. Whereas the surrealist was fascinated
by Freud's theory of the unconscious, the psychedelic artist has been literally "turned on" by Albert
Hofmann's discovery of LSD.

Among the work forerunners of psychedelic art, the following authors and artists can be noted:
Lautreamont, Louis­Ferdinand Celine, Stanislav Witkevich, Antonin Artaud, Georges Bataille, William
Burroughs, De Quincey, Terence McKenna, Carlos Castaneda. Mikhail Bulgakov is the first writer to
describe narcotic hallucinations. In particular, art researchers Tim Lapetino and James Orok trace the
connection of psychedelic art with Dadaism, Surrealism, Lettrism, and Situationism.[1][2]
The early examples of "psychedelic art" are literary rather than visual, although there are some examples
in the Surrealist art movement, such as Remedios Varo and André Masson. Other early examples include
Antonin Artaud who writes of his peyote experience in Voyage to the Land of the Tarahumara (1937) and
Henri Michaux who wrote Misérable Miracle (1956), to describe his experiments with mescaline and
hashish.

Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception (1954) and Heaven and Hell (1956) remain definitive statements
on the psychedelic experience.

Albert Hofmann and his colleagues at Sandoz Laboratories were convinced immediately after its discovery
in 1943 of the power and promise of LSD. For two decades following its discovery LSD was marketed by
Sandoz as an important drug for psychological and neurological research. Hofmann saw the drug's
potential for poets and artists as well, and took great interest in the German writer Ernst Jünger's
psychedelic experiments.

Early artistic experimentation with LSD was conducted in a clinical context by Los Angeles–based
psychiatrist Oscar Janiger. Janiger asked a group of 50 different artists to each do a painting from life of a
subject of the artist's choosing. They were subsequently asked to do the same painting while under the
influence of LSD. The two paintings were compared by Janiger and also the artist. The artists almost
unanimously reported LSD to be an enhancement to their creativity.

Ultimately it seems that psychedelics would be most warmly embraced by the American counterculture.
Beatnik poets Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs became fascinated by psychedelic drugs as early
as the 1950s as evidenced by The Yage Letters (1963). The Beatniks recognized the role of psychedelics
as sacred inebriants in Native American religious ritual, and also had an understanding of the philosophy
of the surrealist and symbolist poets who called for a "complete disorientation of the senses" (to
paraphrase Arthur Rimbaud). They knew that altered states of consciousness played a role in Eastern
Mysticism. They were hip to psychedelics as psychiatric medicine. LSD was the perfect catalyst to electrify
the eclectic mix of ideas assembled by the Beats into a cathartic, mass­distributed panacea for the soul of
the succeeding generation.

In 1960s counterculture [edit]

Leading proponents of the 1960s psychedelic art movement were

San Francisco poster artists such as: Rick Griffin, Victor Moscoso,
Bonnie MacLean, Stanley Mouse & Alton Kelley, Bob Masse, and
Wes Wilson. Their psychedelic rock concert posters were inspired
by Art Nouveau, Victoriana, Dada, and Pop Art. The "Fillmore
Posters" were among the most notable of the time. Richly
saturated colors in glaring contrast, elaborately ornate lettering,
strongly symmetrical composition, collage elements, rubber­like
distortions, and bizarre iconography are all hallmarks of the San
Francisco psychedelic poster art style. The style flourished from
about 1966 to 1972. Their work was immediately influential to vinyl
record album cover art, and indeed all of the aforementioned
artists also created album covers.
Although San Francisco remained the hub of psychedelic art into
the early 1970s, the style also developed internationally: British
Cover of the San Francisco Oracle,
artist Bridget Riley became famous for her Op art paintings of Volume 1 No. 5, January 1967
psychedelic patterns creating optical illusions. Mati Klarwein
created psychedelic masterpieces for Miles Davis' Jazz­Rock
fusion albums, and also for Carlos Santana's Latin rock. Pink Floyd worked extensively with London­based
designers, Hipgnosis to create graphics to support the concepts in their albums. Willem de Ridder created
cover art for Van Morrison. Los Angeles area artists such as John Van Hamersveld, Warren Dayton and
Art Bevacqua and New York artists Peter Max and Milton Glaser all produced posters for concerts or
social commentary (such as the anti­war movement) that were highly collected during this time. Life
Magazine's cover and lead article for the September 1, 1967 issue at the height of the Summer of Love
focused on the explosion of psychedelic art on posters and the artists as leaders in the hippie
counterculture community.

Psychedelic light­shows were a new art­form developed for rock concerts. Using oil and dye in an
emulsion that was set between large convex lenses upon overhead projectors the lightshow artists
created bubbling liquid visuals that pulsed in rhythm to the music. This was mixed with slideshows and film
loops to create an improvisational motion picture art form to give visual representation to the
improvisational jams of the rock bands and create a completely "trippy" atmosphere for the audience. The
Brotherhood of Light were responsible for many of the light­shows in San Francisco psychedelic rock
concerts.

Out of the psychedelic counterculture also arose a new genre of comic books: underground comix. "Zap
Comix" was among the original underground comics, and featured the work of Robert Crumb, S. Clay
Wilson, Victor Moscoso, Rick Griffin, and Robert Williams among others. Underground Comix were ribald,
intensely satirical, and seemed to pursue weirdness for the sake of weirdness. Gilbert Shelton created
perhaps the most enduring of underground cartoon characters, "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers",
whose drugged out exploits held a hilarious mirror up to the hippy lifestyle of the 1960s.

Psychedelic art was also applied to the LSD itself. LSD began to be put on blotter paper in the early 1970s
and this gave rise to blotter art, a specialized art form of decorating the blotter paper. Often the blotter
paper was decorated with tiny insignia on each perforated square tab, but by the 1990s this had
progressed to complete four color designs often involving an entire page of 900 or more tabs. Mark
McCloud is a recognized authority on the history of LSD blotter art.

In corporate advertising [edit]

By the late 1960s, the commercial potential of psychedelic art had become hard to ignore. General
Electric, for instance, promoted clocks with designs by New York artist Peter Max. A caption explains that
each of Max's clocks "transposes time into multi­fantasy colors."[3] In this and many other corporate
advertisements of the late 1960s featuring psychedelic themes, the psychedelic product was often kept at
arm's length from the corporate image: while advertisements may have reflected the swirls and colors of
an LSD trip, the black­and­white company logo maintained a healthy visual distance. Several companies,
however, more explicitly associated themselves with psychedelica: CBS, Neiman Marcus, and NBC all
featured thoroughly psychedelic advertisements between 1968 and 1969.[4] In 1968, Campbell's soup ran
a poster promotion that promised to "Turn your wall souper­delic!"[5]

The early years of the 1970s saw advertisers using psychedelic art
to sell a limitless array of consumer goods. Hair products, cars,
cigarettes, and even pantyhose became colorful acts of pseudo­
rebellion.[6] The Chelsea National Bank commissioned a
psychedelic landscape by Peter Max, and neon green, pink, and
blue monkeys inhabited advertisements for a zoo.[7] A fantasy land
of colorful, swirling, psychedelic bubbles provided the perfect
backdrop for a Clearasil ad.[8] As Brian Wells explains, "The The Art Of Peter Max

psychedelic movement has, through the work of artists, designers,

and writers, achieved an astonishing degree of cultural diffusion… but, though a great deal of diffusion
has taken place, so, too, has a great deal of dilution and distortion."[9] Even the term "psychedelic" itself
underwent a semantic shift, and soon came to mean "anything in youth culture which is colorful, or
unusual, or fashionable."[10] Puns using the concept of "tripping" abounded: as an advertisement for
London Britches declared, their product was "great on trips!"[11] By the mid­1970s, the psychedelic art
movement had been largely co­opted by mainstream commercial forces, incorporated into the very
system of capitalism that the hippies had struggled so hard to change.

Other material [edit]

Examples of other psychedelic art material are tapestry, curtains and stickers,[12] clothing,[13] canvas and
other printed artefacts[14] and furniture.[15]

Computer art has allowed for an even greater and more profuse
expression of psychedelic vision. Fractal generating software gives
an accurate depiction of psychedelic hallucinatory patterns, but
even more importantly 2D and 3D graphics software allow for
unparalleled freedom of image manipulation. Much of the graphics
software seems to permit a direct translation of the psychedelic
vision. The "digital revolution" was indeed heralded early on as the
"New LSD" by none other than Timothy Leary.[16][17]

The rave movement of the 1990s was a psychedelic renaissance set
fueled by the advent of newly available digital technologies. The
rave movement developed a new graphic art
style partially influenced by 1960s psychedelic
poster art, but also strongly influenced by
graffiti art, and by 1970s advertising art, yet
clearly defined by what digital art and
computer graphics software and home
computers had to offer at the time of creation.
Conversely, the convolutional neural network DeepDream modified toast sandwich

DeepDream finds and enhances patterns in

images purely via algorithmic pareidolia.

Concurrent to the rave movement, and in key respects integral to it, are the development of new mind­
altering drugs, most notably, MDMA (Ecstasy). Ecstasy, like LSD, has had a tangible influence on culture
and aesthetics, particularly the aesthetics of rave culture. But MDMA is (arguably) not a real psychedelic,
but is described by psychologists as an entactogen. Development of new psychedelics such as 2C­B and
related compounds (developed primarily by chemist Alexander Shulgin) which are truly psychedelic has
provided a fertile ground for artistic exploration since many of the new psychedelics possess their own
unique properties that will affect the artist's vision accordingly.

Even as fashions have changed, and art and culture movements have come and gone, certain artists
have steadfastly devoted themselves to psychedelia. Well­known examples are Amanda Sage, Alex Grey,
and Robert Venosa. These artists have developed unique and distinct styles that while containing
elements that are "psychedelic", are clearly artistic expressions that transcend simple categorization.
While it is not necessary to use psychedelics to arrive at such a stage of artistic development, serious
psychedelic artists are demonstrating that there is tangible technique to obtaining visions, and that
technique is the creative use of psychedelic drugs.
