I mean -- WOW! What a find, indeed! I know Fred's art from a later period (the pen and ink and stipply neo-pagan stuff from the mid 1960s onward, especially in the Feraferia zines) and this just blew me away. It's wonderful art. Did Fred ever study under Ray Rice, by any chance? Ray was a muralist and a teacher in the Bay Area in the late 19950s and before that in Fresno in the early to mid 1950s. He just died recently in his early 80s. The reason i wonder about this is that there is an eerie similarity between this early work by Fred and Ray's 1950s mural work when he lived in Fresno and taught art -- in terms of brush style, colour tonalities, and the compiled and juxtaposed human images. ) This is totally mind-blowing. Keep us apprised of the art show in September as it approaches, please Poke.
