Thought we would’ve had some more time with the #DreamsUnreal @abqmuseum exhibit this month ✨⚡️✨⠀ ⠀ #stanleymouse #altonkelley #rickgriffin⠀ posted @withregram • @abqmuseum There is not a more recognizable image from ⠀ the entire psychedelic era than this. In keeping with their primary tactic of brazenly raiding the art historical closet, Mouse and Kelley dragged out a literal skeleton. In 1971, The Grateful Dead had the pair adapt the image for the cover a live double-album generally referred to as Skull and Roses. The image became synonymous with the Dead; the Dead were inseparable from psychedelic culture, and psychedelic culture kept on truckin’, gaining one generation after the next of fans and followers.⠀ ⠀ Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse, FD-26: Grateful Dead, Oxford Circle. Avalon Ballroom, September 16-17, 1966, offset lithograph on paper, Albuquerque Museum, gift of Dr. James Gunn, PC2015.10.110 (at Albuquerque Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_iAN6bnkzo/?igshid=15ckm331e33rt
