The distinctive characteristic of psychedelic art is the beautiful, colorful images that have a surreal feel to it. Psychedelic paintings are inspired by certain experiences. This art made use of beautiful and bright forms with detailing and such compositions always illustrated the psychedelic experiences felt by the artist. Surrealistic drawings, brightly colored patterns, detailing and even morphing were used to depict various scenes.
The term 'psychedelic' is used in relation with the experience that is felt by the person when in a rather ‘psychedelic’ state of mind.
A magazine issue devoted to artists of the 60s with a few dozen pages about poster design, include an article on Family Dog and another about Victor Moscoso. There's http://www.buzzle.com/articles/60s-psychedelic-art.html10 full page poster reproductions, with somewhat muted colors and some smaller reprints of Moscoso's posters accompanying the article about him. Plus the cover which is clearly by Moscoso as well.
