| IPTC INFO | | Caption | Artist's Statement: "The first time this image hit the scene was on an Avalon Ballroom concert poster in 1967 when the Dead were just another San Francisco rock band. Mouse and Kelley would spend their days in the back rooms of the San Francisco library digging through art books. When Kelley saw Edmund J. Sullivan's illustration of the Skeleton in the Rubaiyat he said: "This has Grateful Dead all over it." xxxx Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse on discovering the image for their 1967 poster. "We had been looking for something to use for the Grateful Dead. Kelley and I just looked at each other and said ' There it is the perfect picture.' And so we designed a poster around that picture. We knew when it was finished that it was really hot because it felt right. It just fit so good with the name. The skeleton that symbolized death and the roses that symbolized rebirth and love. It just said Grateful Dead." | | URL | http://www.carnaval.com/bulgaria/orpheus_and_eurydice.htm | | User | Guest |
