AUCTION - AOR 2.29 - Mescalito Man - Rick Griffin - 1968 Silkscreen Poster - Very Good

​This gorgeous silkscreen poster was designed by Rick Griffin in 1967 and printed by Royal Screen Craft in Los Angeles in 1968. It is featured in "The Art Of Rock", plate 2.359. Its central character is "San Mescalito, The Patron And Protector Of All Those Souls Who Dig Herbs Created By God To Enlighten The Minds Of Men".
On a journey up into the Sierra Madre mountains, Rick Griffin and his wife, Ida, encountered the Huichol Indians, a shamanistic tribe renowned for an art based on peyote-induced visions. The Huichol and their sacred art fascinated Griffin, and soon after, Mescaleros began popping up as recurring motifs in his works. This poster was printed three times by Griffin it's in Very Good condition with two edge tears, one on the left 1/3 the way down from the top and one at the bottom
under the word"Minds". There's also edge wear and handling. The colors remain bright.
