Creedence Clearwater Revival Poster

Creedence Clearwater Revival Poster
BG156 was a mess, literally, with Conklin's multiple images weighing on the mind of the central figure, and fresh thoughts became clouds formed by writhing bodies. Creedence Clearwater Revival and Fleetwood Mac were part of the melt-down; life, according to Conklin, was a puzzle adrift.
Print Variations
The poster was only printed once before the concert. It measures 14" x 21".
About Lee Conklin
Lee Conklin's early influences were pen and ink masters Heinrich Kley and Saul Steinberg.After seeing articles featuring Wes Wilson's poster art, Conklin was inspired to visit San Francisco and show his art to Bill Graham. Conklin was soon commissioned to do posters and produced 31 original designs for the Fillmore between 1968 and 1969. Conklin rendered both graphics and calligraphy in intricate detail. What began as a personal challenge to disguise images within images and lettering soon turned into a concerted effort to turn every single letter and figure into another form, stretching the imagination to new limits.
