He was the last artist to produce an original series for the Fillmore, working between 1969 and 1971. His designs rely on the use of photographic collage to produce fantastic and often surreal scenes.\r\n\r\nIn this poster, Singer has used a children’s literary character, Puss in Boots, derived from a 19th-century engraving by Gustave Doré used to illustrate the story in Tom Hood’s Fairy Realm of 1865.  The cat, who swipes at a woman wearing a winged helmet and riding an eagle, is incongruously set within what looks like a stage set with a map of the United States as a back-drop.  The poster is at once eerie and humorous, and plays with childhood memories of fairytales.  This, and its association with surrealism relates to the perception that experiences of LSD produce similar effects in the mind of the user during a ‘trip’.\r\n","physicalDescription":"Psychedelic poster advertising a concert for Eric Burdon and War, Santana, and Buddy Miles.
