Psychedelic posters by Victor Moscoso
Born 1936 in Oleiros, Victor Moscoso studied art at Cooper Union in New York City and at Yale University. Then, he moved to San Francisco (1959), where he studied in the Art Institute. After graduating, he worked on creating colorful psychedelic rock posters, advertisements and underground comix. Meanwhile, his beautiful posters made the artist famous in San Francisco during the 1960s and 1970s. According to his works, his art was influenced by painter Josef Albers, one of his teachers at Yale. Noteworthy, he was the first of the rock poster artists to use photographic collage in many of his posters. Currently lives in San Francisco.

Moscoso’s comix and poster work has continued up to the present and includes album covers for musicians such as Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Herbie Hancock, and David Grisman. He also created art for use on t-shirts, billboards, animated commercials for radio stations (for which he received 2 CLIO’s) and more.
