The artworks of the counter culture developed more from the 1960s to the 1970s. Sometimes they are called underground publications because those comics and magazines can get in the psychedelic stores which sale goods such as marbles, cigarettes, tie dyed fabric and books.
Mylar Chamber image used by Life magazine, 26 December 1969, in its special issue to mark the end of the 1960s. The image illustrated a section on drugs which stated that ‘few came as close to explaining the euphoric distortions of hallucinogenics’ as Cohen. I am interests in the light and shadow in this photo, and combining the color, it really looks like a hallucination. It seemed to express the freedom, the self-indulgences and relevant to one of the core spirit of the counter culture. Similarly to Dickens, it could be said that counterculture of the 1960s marks for some the best and the worst of times at the same time.
The second image is the cover of an album called Cheap Thrills which is one of the famous work related to the counter culture. It published in 1968. The cover was drawn by underground cartoonist Robert Crumb. Using comic form as a cover is clever, because the readable of characteristics is easy to pass message and information. In at least one early edition, the words “HARRY KRISHNA! (D. GETZ)” are faintly visible in the word balloon of the turbaned man, apparently referring to a track that was dropped from the final sequence. The words “ART: R. CRUMB” replace them. A variation of the title on the cover is used as the logo for the Cheap Thrills record label, owned by British DJ Hervé.
The third image I chose from Oz (No.3 May 1967) which is a successful underground magazine. It is 3 page Martin Sharp foldout What Beautiful Eyes She Has with Revlon Invents Wet Lipstick on the reverse. The color of the poster is the typical of that period, bright, vivid，making a sense of psychedelic.
According to Musgrove (1974), the counter culture expresses the dissatisfaction with the prevailing culture or social system, and influences the way of life through the impact of cultural shock, so as to make the system change. This is the meaning and value of that period.
