 Posters: AE - Sopwith Camel
Moscoso's style is most notable for its visual intensity, which is obtained by manipulating form and color to create optical effects.
Moscoso's use of intense color contrasts and vibrating edges and borders was influenced by painter Josef Albers, his teacher at Yale.
Given Moscoso's artistic sophistication, it is not surprising that he was the first of the rock poster artists to use photographic collage.

All three, Victor Hernandez, Ana Aravena and Ximena Moscoso come from widely differing backgrounds and have come to Orkney for a variety of reasons, but each seems to have found their feet quickly, and all seem to be enjoying the experience.
Victor came to be a volunteer in Orkney through the AFS, the American Field Service, which he said found places for professional people.
Twenty-seven-year-old Ximena (pronounced "Himena") Moscoso is from Cuenca, the third largest city in Ecuador where she worked in the credit department of a bank.

Victor Moscoso was among the most gifted and influential artists to emerge from the Sixties counterculture, pioneering not only the psychedelic concert poster designs made famous during San Francisco's Summer of Love but also making his mark in underground comix.
Born in Spain and raised in Brooklyn, Moscoso attended Cooper Union Art School before studying at the Yale School of Art; he arrived on the west coast in 1959 to enroll at the San Francisco Art Institute, and after graduation remained at the school for another five years to teach lithography.
Moscoso additionally designed countless t-shirts and billboards, later winning a pair of CLIO awards for his animated advertising projects; he also worked in music video.

Moscoso is definitely a form over content man although in recent years there seems to be more narrative in his work, he has often been more concerned with parodying comic storylines.
One of his finest creations was the colour cover for ZAP 4 (which I may scan in one day) but much of his fl and white work looks beautiful.
In recent years Moscoso has been in dispute with other artists over the future of Zap Comic (this link gives a potted history of Zap in strip form)

Moscoso work continues to be unique and a fine example of the power of cartooning.
Moscoso fits right in, though, because his work is just as committed to self-expression, the artists’ liberation, as every other strip in the book is. It’s on “Dante’s Inferno” that we see Moscoso doing something different with his techniques.
Moscoso uses collages reminiscent of Terry Gilliam’s Python work, although the nonsensical situations and strong rhythms still remain.

 Drugs And Psychedelic Poster Art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
For Victor Moscoso the psychedelic experience was bound up in vibration of color.
None of the artists used color with such electric results as Victor, and since this distortion and "fighting" of color was one of the most powerful aspects of psychedelic experience, it may well be that for this alone Victor captured the physical, visual experience of being "stoned" better than anyone else.

We did apply for a (really quite modest) Subsidy After the Accomplished Fact (always a hardship) with the Dutch Ministerie van Cultuur en Maatschappelijk Werk, but these guys were so paranoid that Victor Moscoso would start suing the Kingdom of the Netherlands for infringement of copyright that they would not touch it.

 Typotheque: Zap Comics by Steven Heller
Natural, Angelfood McSpade, Dirty Dog, and Schuman the Human; Victor Moscoso and Rick Griffin were progenitors of the vibrating psychedelic rock concert posters that took San Francisco and the world by storm; and S. Clay Wilson was known for living out his perverse fantasies through dark comic figures.
A year earlier, Wes Wilson, Stanley Mouse, Griffin and Moscoso launched a graphic style that undermined prevailing Modernist notions of formal rightness by introducing vibrating color, illegible lettering and vintage graphics to posters that were complex assemblies of type and image designed to be read while high.
Always the experimenter, Moscoso, who had been interested in serial imagery when he was a painter studying at Yale in the early 1960s, was beginning to play with skewed sequential photographs for use as a Christmas card for an old high school friend, the animator and film title designer Pablo Ferro.

Mark Arminski, like the great Victor Moscoso before him, not only produced concert posters, but set about from almost the beginning to number and control his own work, envisioning an extended collectable series.
Where many of the Punk and New Wave artists are stark and in-your-face, Arminski, in particular in his use of color, is subtle and harkens more to the ideals of the original psychedelic scene.
If anyone can be said to carry on the marvelous color work of Victor Moscoso, it has to be Mark Arminski.

Another characteristic of this poster is a small dot immediately to the left of the “M” in “Moscoso.” Stock of this printing varies from.007” to.008” 14” x 20”
Kastor also showed me copies of another poster which is a third printing of FD-61 which does not have the darker blue band and is missing the small dot which appears immediately to the left of the “Moscoso” signature in the plate on FD-61-OP-1 and FD-61-RP-2.
He believes, and I am inclined to agree, that this poster was printed later, probably two up with two copies of the same image.

Psychedelic art is not always inspired by a drug-induced experience, but often it is. Although sometimes referred to as visionary or surreal art-- in that, like dreams, they all draw upon the unconscious as their source of inspiration-- the truly psychedelic painting is charged with an unmistakable psychoactive intensity.
