MASTERS, ROBERT E.L. & HOUSTON, JEAN. — Psychedelic Art.

London: Balance House / Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1968. 1st edition. "Masters and Houston draw on a combined 15 years of research with pyote- and LSD-type substances to explain and discuss the nature of psychedelic experience and its effect on creativity. They clrify the distinction between the "psychedelic sensibility" of artists such as Bosch, Blake, and Tchelitchew and the true psychedelic experience, and lay firmly to rest the notion that "all art is psychedelic". The works themselves are presented in 30 pages of full colour reproductions and 110 illustrations in monochrome." 28cms x 21.5cms x 2cms.
