psychedelic (Art)
Psychedelic art is a visual style that emerged in the 1960s, characterized by vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and surreal imagery. It often reflects the experiences and perceptions associated with psychedelic drugs, such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms. This art form aims to evoke altered states of consciousness and explore themes of spirituality, nature, and the subconscious mind.
Artists like Peter Max and Victor Moscoso played significant roles in popularizing psychedelic art through posters, album covers, and illustrations. The movement is closely linked to the counterculture of the 1960s, influencing music, fashion, and graphic design, and continues to inspire contemporary artists today.
