Description

This Family Dog concert poster for Taj Mahal presents an exuberant, high-contrast graphic composition that turns the central typographic and emblematic forms into a kind of celebratory icon. Rendered in luminous pink and metallic silver, the design reads as both poster and symbol—layered shapes sit against a speckled, uncoated index stock ground, giving the whole sheet a tactile, printshop immediacy rather than a polished, mass-market finish.

At the top and center, the artwork concentrates attention through stacked, stylized letterforms that echo the era’s appetite for experimental rock ephemera and poster-as-art. The lineup—Taj Mahal alongside Dave Van Ronk, Family Tree, AB Skhy Blues Band, and Creedence Clearwater Revival—signals a crosscurrent of blues roots and rising popular rock, fitting the Family Dog program’s reputation for curating music that moved between scenes and generations.

Artists:  Paul Kagan and David Smith
