Abstract

"Madhouse Messiah" takes a visual approach to key moments in the life of poet Allen Ginsberg between the years of 1948 and 1956. Rick's poster features a timeline of images representing moments such as Ginsberg's famous Blake vision, his mother's lobotomy, and the publication of "Howl." The timeline is juxtaposed with a word cloud from "Howl" and an image of a once-sterile room falling apart. Key visual elements: Jarring image selections Vertical timeline Predominance of black and tan tones This was created for the Center for Undergraduate Research & Fellowships (CURF) Undergraduate Research Symposium.
