RICK GRIFFIN BULLS EYE. 1968.
14x22 inches. Tea Lautrec Litho.
Condition A. Paper.
The wellspring of inspiration for the psychedelic artists was an unusual mixture of international popular, artistic and social culture. Here Griffin employs an old French advertising icon, La Vache qui Rit (the laughing cow) which was used to sell cheese. In establishing a tenuous relationsip with the poster's title, he pierces the heart on the cow's head with an arrow. Off the Wall p. 94, Art of Rock p. 129, BG 137.
