What information do you have on the psychedelic art movement of the late sixties/early seventies?

Any information would be widely appreciated. Things like: names of artists, art influences, major events and most importantly information on the importance of the fusion between music and art (and drugs). Like how they all combined to create the full psychedelic experience. The main focus is of course on the art...What information do you have on the psychedelic art movement of the late sixties/early seventies?The whole movement of psychedelic art was when people produced art while they were on drugs (such as LSD, acid, mescaline, etc). "Psychedelic" means "mind manifesting"



Andy Partridge and Brian Exton are examples of artists in this movement...



This was the time of the emergence of rock music and free will/expression...love, sex, etc. A lot of music bands posters and album covers were created with this effect.



The kaleidoscope effect (similar to what you experience when on LSD) was also hugely popular, and many people tried reproducing this.
