This thing happens where people alive in the 1960s dismiss psychedelic art. “Been there, done that. It was the drugs. Oh god.” Not being alive then, I’m not so quick to dismiss this art. To me, it is like any other Western aesthetic movement. If the “fine art” world rejected this art at the time that is a plus not a minus. In late capitalism, is there difference between fine art and commercial art? Sure there is. Noncommercial art is considered terrorism. Every period has its extremes. I found this book mind blowing. No pun intended. Keiichi Tanaami’s work was particularly inspiring. Yellow Submarine still holds up as a feel good musical. I see neon everywhere these days. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Electrical Banana is the first definitive examination of the international language of psychedelia, focusing on the most important practitioners in their respective fields. With a deft combination of hundreds of unseen images and exclusive interviews and essays, Electrical Banana aims to revise the common persception of psychedelic art, showing it to be more innovative, compelling, and revolutionary than was ever thought before."--P.

It is also refreshing not to see a book dedicated to the San Francisco artists.
A book on art is hardly worth mentioning without a note on the illustrations, and the replication in this case is excellent, with no skimping by doing half the book in black & white. Here every image has been lovingly reproduced in glorious technicolour. Even the smallest details of Mati Klarwein's insanely detailed works such as Grain of Sand 1963-65 stands up to close scrutiny.
The art was designed to allow people to visualise the experience of taking a 'trip' on LSD without having to actually take the drug itself. Although I am sure plenty took the drug all the same. ( )
