Electric, outrageous, erotic, rebellious - rock concert posters are
the visual equivalent of the music they advertise. The Art of Rock
traces the history of this energising art form from the bold
letterpress posters advertising Elvis's early shows, through the
multi-coloured fantasies of the psychedelic era, to the avant-garde
collages of new wave and punk. More than 1,500 posters and other
graphics - tickets, backstage passes, buttons, handbills - are
presented in their original blazing colour (or their stark black
and white, as the case may be). The text features dozens of
exclusive interviews with musicians, concert promoters, and the
poster artists themselves, including legends like Stanley Mouse,
Alton Kelley, or Wes Wilson - who also designed the cover of this
book. A visual journey through 30 years of rock and roll, as well
as a valuable reference, The Art of Rock is an essential volume for
every music lover (and art lover).
