Roy De Forest's vibrant and whimsical art features a unique cast of characters, including his signature wild-eyed dogs, appealing to a wide audience. This publication reassesses his significance in the broader context of American art, positioning him alongside lesser-known bicoastal movements of the 1960s and 1970s. While playful, his work is rich in deeper meanings, drawing from various influences including science fiction, Australian aboriginal art, and historical references. It showcases 150 color reproductions and illustrations that highlight his diverse inspirations and Northern California's creative culture.
