Wes Wilson, the influential poster artist whose work adorned concert prints by some of the 1960s’ most popular rock bands, died January 24th at the age of 82, the New York Times reports. His son, Jason, confirmed that Wilson died at his Leanne, Missouri home, though the cause of death was not announced.
Based in San Francisco, Wilson’s work stood out and helped define the style that is associated with posters from the Sixties era — utilizing bold colors, unique images and swirling typography that looked to be melting and could be difficult to read.
