He was also the last artist to produce an original series for the Fillmore. Singer's designs employ diverse collaged elements, drawn from both photographic and printed sources, to produce fantastic and often surreal scenes.","physicalDescription":"Psychedelic poster advertising a concert by Joe Cocker.  The central image features a photographic image of Mount Rushmore set against a series of pictures of a nude, walking woman. Black and white photographic images of hummingbirds, a leaping cat, an egg hatching and two orang-utans are photomontaged across the surface.  The text, which sits in the yellow border, reads, 'Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco, Joe Cocker, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Van Morrison, the Stonemans.
