Victor Moscoso

When thinking of psychedelic art, what most often springs to mind is psychedelic poster art. A notable name in this specific type of art is Victor Moscoso. He is most well known for his poster work and his non-traditional use of color. His designs were vivid, full of color and patterns and incorporated hand made fonts as well as collage techniques and pop art. He even created a type of poster called "slow read" which consisted of small, almost illegible font which was near impossible to read unless you literally read slowly.

"Moscoso created works which are classic examples of the peak of psychedelic poster art and commercial graphic design. He changed the rules and developed a visual lexicon which juxtaposed psychedelic art and the traditional arts of the past. He moved from the simple design and subdued colours of the past to hot colours and use of the artistic hand." -Transpersonal Spirit
