SynopsisSuch graphic manifestos of rock rebellion have long provided a visual complement to the music, gaining increased relevance and renown in the '90s by defying the disembodied nature of the digital revolution. Today, four decades after the first great wave of rock art roared out of San Francisco in the 1960s, rock postering has matured into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. And now, published on the heels of Swag - Rock Posters of the '90s, the seminal retrospective of modern poster art, this new volume substantially adds to the treasure - trove of posters included in the first book. In Swag 2, noted designers Spencer Drate and Judith Salavetz have compiled an exuberant assortment of images created by fifty of the most important poster artists working today - from pioneers such as Jim Phillips and Bill Narum to contemporary artists such as Allen Jaeger and Marco Almera., Crackling with sexual tension, comic flourishes, macabre drama, and science fiction clichés, rock posters are as vibrant and varied as the music they celebrate--and more popular today than ever. With imagery that ranges from eye-popping and crassly outrageous to subtle and esoteric, these graphic manifestos of rock rebellion have matured into a full-blown phenomenon, four decades after the first great wave of rock art roared out of San Francisco in the 1960s.In Swag 2: Rock Posters of the '90s and Beyond, noted designers Spencer Drate and Judith Salavetz have collected a fascinating assortment of images created by 50 of the most important poster artists working today--from 1960s pioneers such as Jim Phillips to gifted painters to graphic design studios as diverse as Patent Pending Industries and Asterik Studio. The foreword, coauthored by poster artists Nels Jacobson and Dirk Fowler, provides a fitting introduction to this colorful world where rock posters reign supreme.Swag 2: Rock Posters of the '90s and Beyond is a raucous and rollicking compendium of contemporary rock art that provides a kaleidoscopic snapshot of our time.
