Complete with an introductory incantation by neo-psychedelic rockers MGMT, Dan Donahue’s black-light book is a visual love letter to the cultural and aesthetic experimentation of the Age of Aquarius.
Each page of Ultraviolet: 69 Blacklight Posters from the Aquarian Age and Beyond is a vintage poster that actually glows under a black light; and while drug and free-love references certainly abound, as the volume shows, there’s much more to the story.
Peruse pages from the book, play MGMT’s tripped-out interactive music video for “Electric Feel,” learn how to build your own black light, and buy a copy of Ultraviolet

Dan Donahues “Ultraviolet:69 Posters From The Aquarian Age And Beyond” is not only a gift to the senses but a mega contribution to modern art and a culture historians agree belongs to the most significant generation of the twentieth century. The Northern California “Bay Area” inspired painting “Dream Of Me” is a master work in itself, well worth the price of admission. Top of my Christmas list, now where did I put that blacklight?
