Spaces in Time: The Influence of Aubrey Beardsley on Psychedelic Graphic Design
View through CrossRef
This article discusses how psychedelic graphic design of the 1960s was influenced by the work of Aubrey Beardsley, the late 19th century illustrator. Underground graphic design reflected the decadent curves and grotesque lines of Beardsley, (re)discovered by countercultural circles through a retrospective exhibition promoted by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1966. The conjunction of vibrant psychedelic features with Beardsley’s sinuous and organic traits made room for the creation of seminal countercultural works between 1966-69, the Grammy award-winning cover design for the Beatles’ album Revolver (1966), by Klaus Voorman being a key example. Graphic materials evoking the style of the controversial illustrator created a new path within countercultural graphic design.
