Long overlooked as an auxiliary part of the grassroots-rock movement, the art scene that helps promote DIY rock 'n roll at last takes the spotlight in Merle Becker's American Artifact: The Rise of American Rock Poster Art. With era-spanning interviews from some of the scene's most prominent players — including the creator of the Grateful Dead logo Stanley Mouse and Chicago's own Jay Ryan and Mat Daly — American Artifact delves into the colorful history and exciting present of American poster art, showcasing a dynamic world as gritty and inventive as the music it propels.
