San Fran­cisco in the 1960s pro­duced many last­ing cul­tural inno­va­tions, among them a renais­sance of cre­ativ­ity in the graphic arts cen­tered around the pro­mo­tion of rock music. Draw­ing upon and extend­ing such 19th and turn of the cen­tury influ­ences as French painter and illus­tra­tor Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Czecho­slo­va­kian Art Nou­veau painter Alphonse Mucha, Aus­trian sym­bol­ist Gus­tav Klimt, and the let­ter­ing style of Vienna Seces­sion­ist Alfred Roller, the poster artists of the 1960s San Fran­cisco ball­room scene rev­o­lu­tion­ized the graphic arts, blur­ring the bound­aries between pic­to­r­ial image and text, between the dis­pos­able and the col­lectible, and between com­mer­cial and fine art. This exhi­bi­tion fea­tures the work of sev­eral of the most influ­en­tial of the San Fran­cisco rock poster artists, all with strong ties to the Red­wood Empire: Lee Con­klin, Stan­ley Mouse, Vic­tor Moscoso, and David Singer.

Flatstock 25 by Dave Hunter

The Rock Poster Soci­ety (TRPS) is pleased to announce the rock poster art event of the sum­mer. TRPS is team­ing up with the Amer­i­can Poster Insti­tute to present Flat­stock 25 – By the Bay on Sat­ur­day July 10, 2010 at the Hall of Flow­ers in San Francisco’s beau­ti­ful Golden Gate Park. The show will run from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The FLATSTOCK poster show series is pre­sented by the Amer­i­can Poster Insti­tute (API). It is an ongo­ing series of exhi­bi­tions fea­tur­ing the work of many of the most pop­u­lar con­cert poster artists work­ing today. The Flat­stock shows in Austin, Seat­tle, Chicago, and Ham­burg are known world­wide as pre­mier events in the poster world. The very first Flat­stock was held in San Fran­cisco back in the nineties, and they’ve long wanted to come back out here for their land­mark 25th show.

TRPS’ Rock Art By the Bay artists show has been a reg­u­lar hap­pen­ing every sum­mer for some years now. Melded with the Flat­stock event, this will be a very spe­cial show. TRPS is thrilled to be work­ing with API to bring this land­mark event to San Francisco.

In keep­ing with Flat­stock and Rock Art By the Bay tra­di­tion, this show will be artists-only, and admis­sion is FREE to the pub­lic. We’re expect­ing an out­stand­ing lineup of artists for this one, and this is a great oppor­tu­nity for us to intro­duce a lot of new faces to the Bay Area poster com­mu­nity. Mark down the date Sat­ur­day July 10, 2010 on your cal­en­dars. You won’t want to miss this one! I hope to see you there!
