Flashback: Posters from the Golden Age of Rock & Roll
Hodge Gallery

Organized by the Flint Institute of Arts, in conjunction with Wolfgang’s Vault, this exhibition will feature many of the original silk-screened Rock & Roll posters of the 1960s and 1970s. Strong design, including many art historical references, combined with psychedelic colors, manipulated lettering and powerful imagery resulting in a work of art representative of both the graphic artist and the Rock & Roll artists being promoted. The posters represent a unique marriage of the psychedelic images the graphic artists were exploring and the new direction the music was taking. Often what ties these works together is the era of social revolution in which they were created.

Original concert posters for Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, The Grateful Dead and many others will be on display.
