Stanley Mouse is responsible for some of the most enduring & best-loved images to emerge from the counterculture of the `60s. Mouse`s art captured the decade`s pop look, & was instrumental in linking the art scene to music, the other major art form of the `60s generation. Best known for his posters & album covers, Mouse has done album art for the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin, & many others. The Steve Miller Band`s Book of Dreams album earned a Grammy Award for Best Graphic Art. His work for the Grateful Dead is probably his most memorable art; with Alton Kelley, he designed the Dead`s skull & roses emblem as well as many of their most famous posters including the Blue Rose poster for the closing of Winterland. Freehand` is a major retrospective of this gifted artist`s work. Along with his music artwork, Freehand includes his early Monster Car paintings--described by one critic as a cross between Mad Magazine & Paul Klee--as well as the now famous Zig Zag Man. This is not merely a catalog of Mouse`s famed poster art, but a comprehensive look at his artistic roots & full flower of his genius, including 96 pages of full-color reproductions of his best work. more details ... |
