Stanley Mouse
Music is more than sound. It is feelings, memories, ideas and images. And, no one put a “face” on rock music better than Stanley Mouse. World famous for his posters and album cover art, Stanley is specifically responsible for defining the “look” of some of the most famous bands in rock and roll history, such as the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Journey, The Steve Miller Band, and of course, The Grateful Dead. Recognized as one of the “big five” American poster artists, Stanley’s artwork has been instrumental in transforming art and design in myriad and incalculable ways.
His association with Bill Graham and Chet Helms of the Fillmore and Avalon, respectively led Mouse to new areas of artistic effort and success. One of their big breakthroughs came with the creation of poster images for Big Brother and the Holding Company, which eventually became the Janis Joplin show. Mouse’s work, utilizing many aspects of art nouveau style and the influence of Alphonse Mucha’s distinctive decorative invention and sensuous beauty, redefined the art of poster. He became a master of powerful yet playful poster images.
