OMCA's project aims to reassess De Forest's art-historical position, placing him in a national rather than solely regional/West Coast context. Landauer positions De Forest as part of a bicoastal alternative current of American art that has been poorly documented and deliberately ran counter to better publicized tendencies of the 1960s and 1970s, notably Pop, Minimalism, and post-painterly abstraction. Despite the playfulness of his work, close study of De Forest's art reveals deep layers of meaning. He was a fan of popular science fiction and adventure stories, but he was also well versed in Australian aboriginal art, ukiyo-e prints, poetry, literature, and the history of philosophy. He enjoyed secreting obscure art-historical references into his work: animals might assume postures found in Medieval or Renaissance art, or a drawing that appears to depict a comic-book character may in fact refer to Titian's triple-headed allegory of Prudence. This engaging publication presents gorgeous color reproductions of 150 of De Forest's finest artworks, plus a variety of figure illustrations that illuminate the artist's diverse sources and freewheeling social and creative milieu in Northern California."--Provided by publisher. 585 $a "Published on the occasion of the exhibition Of Dogs and Other People: The Art of Roy De Forest, organized and presented by the Oakland Museum of California, April 29-August 20, 2017"--Title page verso. 600 10 $a De Forest, Roy, $d 1930-2007. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n83039924 600 17 $a De Forest, Roy, $d 1930-2007. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01456935 650 0 $a Artists $z California $v Biography. 650 0 $a Animals in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85005283 650 7 $a Animals in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809573 650 7 $a Artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817559 651 7 $a California. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204928 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 710 2 $a Oakland Museum of California, $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95113816 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018011020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76DEAF34E6E711E7A3BFBD0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
