A nice copy of this overview of the relationship between hallucinogenic drugs and visual art. Lavishly illustrated throughout, including dozens of color plates, mostly with examples of works produced by artists under the influence of psychedelics. Co-authored by the husband-and- wife team also responsible for The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience (1966), and notable for their involvement in the countercultural Human Potential Movement of the late 1960s. With chapters also written by Barry N. Schwartz and Stanley Krippner.
