PAN spotted a great collection focus from Bridgeman Images this week – edited and license-ready.
The iconic Hapshash and the Coloured Coat was the brainchild of Michael English (1941-2009) and Nigel Waymouth (b.1941) a collaboration of music and graphic art, which expanded and influenced the psychedelic rock era of the late 1960s.
The artists were at the center of the psychedelic movement which originated in London, and worked with some of the most famous musicians in the world – the likes of Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and the Doors – to name a few. The innovation and experimentation of Hapshash and the Coloured Coat swayed and shaped the aesthetic of the era.
