The Heart and Torch is one of Rick Griffin's most famous images. Experienced collectors and newbies alike LOVE the beautiful colors, killer lettering, and symmetrical design of this incredible work of art by the master of the genre. Janis was obviously part of Big Brother when the original artwork was created for this run of Fillmore West shows. This intensely fantastic concert poster is an internationally popular Rick Griffin concert poster artwork, appearing in most concert poster books featuring music concert & psychedelic posters from the Sixties. It was produced during the peak of Rick Griffin's quintessential psychedelic poster artwork period, published to promote the upcoming concerts, which were held just about a month following the release of Big Brother's second LP.
