This foil poster was originally distributed in England in 1969 by Big O Posters. This silver foil poster by David Vaughn is his vision of the Buddha. David Vaughan was born in Manchester in 1944 and has been the foundation of British underground art since the 1960s painting his first artwork at the age of 15. His murals got recognized for the smoothness of lines and boldness of color while he was still a student at Slade School in London and won many commissions for his murals. Vaughan also studied at the Ashton School of Art and Bradford College of Art. In the later 1960s, his posters reflected the drug-fueled idealism of his times and his work was known as a “modern Goya”. With each poster he would put vibrant colors to represent what life would be like if purity and light replaced anger and darkness. Vaughan initially worked with photographer David Bailey producing posters. His 1960’s prints are now auctioned in numerous venues and his etchings have become an acquired taste of collectors.
