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
"Aquarian Exposition" The original location listed on this posted was changed to Yasgur's farm near Bethel for the festival.
This is the original poster for the show, with the town of Wallkill, NY listed. The first choice was Woodstock, then Wallkill, and finally, Bethel, and Max Yasgur's farm.
For the centerpiece of this design, graphic artist David Edward Byrd took his inspiration from “La Source” by French neoclassical painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
