Resumen
Este artículo analiza cómo el diseño gráfico psicodélico de los años sesenta se vio influenciado por Aubrey Beardsley, el ilustrador del siglo XIX. El diseño gráfico reflejó las curvas decadentes y las líneas grotescas de Beardsley, (re)descubiertas por los círculos de la contracultura a través de una exposición retrospectiva montada por el Victoria and Albert Museum en 1966. La unión de las características psicodélicas con los rasgos sinuosos y orgánicos de Beardsley permitió la creación de obras seminales entre 1966-69. El diseño por Klaus Voorman para la portada del álbum de los Beatles Revolver (1966), ganador del premio Grammy, es uno de los mejores ejemplos. Los materiales gráficos que evocaban el estilo del polémico ilustrador crearon un nuevo camino dentro del diseño gráfico contracultural.
