1967! The late 1960s see so much political and social change, and the art of the day reflects all of this confusion, excitement and apprehension.
Music is changing, some would say it was getting weirder and sounding worse, ha ha! But artists were experimenting and exploring outside the box. I love the creativity and psychedelic energy of the art world in the late 60s and early 70s.
To me, this puzzle image perfectly captures everything about this era. The colour, the aesthetic, the mesmerizing psychedelic effect! This might be the coolest puzzle I currently own, I don’t know… I think I say that a lot. But this one is truly stunning.
The whole picture is gorgeous and looks like a beautiful floral or kaleidoscopic image, but once you focus on the details and catch that the detail is full of face profiles, it’s absolutely mind blowing. I mean, to me it was.
This came from that amazing haul of vintage Springbok puzzles I picked up in August from Marketplace. The minute I saw this, my heart skipped several beats! I had seen this image online only, and just never imagined that it would be in my collection. I figured it was much too rare, it would be expensive or if I ever found it, it would be missing a ton of pieces.
Tell me that I would find a complete copy for about 3 dollars? I would have laughed in your face!
This font and colour combination is so perfect!
I assembled this on my birthday this year, I thought what could be more special than to put together a Springbok from 1967? It was perfection, and after that, I had my friends over for a banana split birthday party! 43 baby!
This is Prism Kaleidoscope by artist and graphic designer Peter Max, released in 1967, 500 pieces and complete.
