Few artists can claim to have created works that can represent an entire era, but graphic designer Stanley Mouse definitely stands apart.

Mouse, whose work incorporates Art Nouveau and Pop Art sensibilities, is best known for the album covers and posters he created in the late 1960s for the Grateful Dead, Steve Miller, The Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, and many, many other artists.

Mouses's work is currently featured in the de Young's Summer of Love exhibition, which runs through August 20th and includes a broad array of lithograph posters from the mid- to late-1960s, as well as an exhibit demonstrating how the posters were created.

On Friday, August 4, the de Young kicks off three weeks of Friday nights with legendary poster artists of the period, starting this week with Mouse, who'll be in conversation with the de Young's associate paper conservator, Victoria Binder.

Admission is free; seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The next two discussions in the lineup are with master light technician Bill Ham (August 11) on the influences of abstract painting and psychedelics, and a screening of short films with filmmaker Ben Van Meter (August 18), including footage from the Trips Festival.

The exhibition winds down at the end of the month, so if you haven't seen it yet, this is your chance.
