1 MIKE NELSON, A FORGOTTEN KINGDOM
2 STURE JOHANNESSON
  Some years ago writer-curator Lars Bang Larsen introduced me to Johannesson’s provocative psychedelic posters from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Recently I met the artist at his home in Malmo, Sweden, and was struck by his dedication, talent, and honesty. As Larsen tells it, the official reception of Johannesson’s work in its time is epitomized by the reaction to his unsanctioned poster for a 1969 exhibition at the Lund Konsthall, in which a nude woman smokes a hash pipe below an image of Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People. Under pressure from the Konsthall Board Chairman, the authorities collected and confiscated the posters, citing their “drug-idealizing standpoint”.
