About this poster

“In the spring of 1969, Woodstock Ventures asked me to do a poster for the large outdoor concert they were planning for the village of Woodstock, NY. in August of that year. [NOTE: it was actually in Wallkill, NY] I based the poster on Ingre’s La Source and surrounded that image with cupids, flowers and hearts in jewel-tone colors. After I delivered the art to the printer in late June, I left for a month in the Caribbean to a town with 30 people and no telephone. During this time, the town of Wallkill forbade the show and it had to be moved to Max Yasgur's farm in White Lake, town of Bethel. As I was not available to do a new poster, it was done by another artist, and appropriately became very famous, while this version is mostly forgotten.”


- David Byrd


The "Aquarian Exposition" poster originally advertised the festival's location as Wallkill, NY. However, the venue was later relocated to Max Yasgur's farm near Bethel.


This poster is the original promotional artwork for the event, with Wallkill, NY initially designated as the location. The festival's location journeyed from Woodstock to Wallkill, and eventually settled at Max Yasgur's farm.


For the central design element, graphic artist David Edward Byrd drew inspiration from "La Source," a painting by the French neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
