Victor Moscoso is considered to be one of the most influential artists to emerge from the 60's counterculture. Moscoso was born in Spain in Brooklyn, and studied at cooper union art school before studying at the Yale school of art. He is an artist best known for his psychedelic rock posters and his use of vibrant contrasting colours. His main inspiration came from the San Francisco music scene in the 1960's, however his influences came from Art Nouveau and one of his teachers, Josef Albers. The work above was done by Josef Albers, who was one of the influences for Victor Moscoso. As you can see Albers used bright block colours and sometimes contrasting colours in his work just like Moscoso has done in his work. however, Moscoso's use of colour is a lot more intense and vibrant compared to Albers, but you can definitely see that there has been some sort of influence.
