Synopsis
Presented in a lush oversize format, this comprehensive, career-spanning catalogue features work from an exhibition in the USA. "Heart and Torch" is the first book and major museum retrospective to focus exclusively on Griffin's life's work. A cult figure that set the iconographic terrain for three distinct West Coast subcultures, Griffin has been hugely influential on contemporary visual culture. Rick Griffin's poster art for seminal psychedelic era rock concerts is the stuff of legend, simultaneously his illustration work for surf magazines and cartoons for underground comics have arguably had equal impact in their respective genres.Less well known, but equally compelling is the impressive body of work Griffin created as a born again Christian starting in the early 1970s up until his untimely death in 1991. This fascinating book includes in depth essays by Doug Harvey and Greg Escalante, a foreword by Bolton Colburn, an interview with Chuck Fromm, and further writing about Griffin by Chad Bojorquez, Gordon McClelland and Jacaeber Kastor.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Griffin, Rick (illustrator). 1st Edition. A great collection of psychedelic art from one of its original creators. Created for an exhibition at the Laguna Art Museum that also included a series of lectures on his works. The book's pages are clean and straight. The book's hinges are secure. The book's exterior is clean but there is significant and uneven fading on the front cover where part of the book was exposed to light and part was not. Aside from that, there are a few tiny nicks in the spine and very little wear otherwise. The illustrations inside include many iconic works of art includng rock music posters, album art, comic book art and the like. (Note: Photos may show a flash reflection.) PayPal always welcome.
