Print made for the March from Pier 29 to the Polo Fields in San Francisco
"Although not a rock concert poster, if you know the styles of the major artists of the era you just might make out that here is an early piece from one of the Big Five Masters … Wes Wilson. This "Poster From The Past" is for a peace demonstration in San Francisco. 47 years ago on November 15, 1966 The New Mobilization West. The peace march began at 7AM at Pier 29 on the embarcadero and traveled to the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park for the 2PM ralley.
The central image here I feel are images of Good & Evil. The figure on the left raising his hand with a Peace gesture (looks sort of like George Washington). The figure on the right wearing a helmet of war with 666, the sign of the incarnate of Evil along with a bandoleer of bullets across his chest. His fist sports a thumbs down gesture which can mean death.
The text across the top is a quote from the Bible. Isaiah 2:4 … And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people … and they shall beat their swords into plow shares and their spears into pruning hooks. All and all a very interesting poster for the times which can also be considered a psychedelic piece for sure.
