I moved to California in 1978. John and his wife Phyllis became my family. They welcomed me and whomever I brought over, a successive series of girlfriends, my future wife, Donna and of course, our children. Their home became our place of warmth and love through successive crises, celebrations and holidays. This blog celebrates and honors my love for them and an investigation of art from a very subjective point of view.

1956 San Francisco Art Festival
I am fixated on the fifties art movement in San Francisco. I have a couple of fliers that my uncle left from the San Francisco Art Festival. The flier lists over 700 exhibitors, a few well known. I plan at some time, I hope soon to create a continuing investigation on a website. My uncle John is among the first listed with members of the Artist's Guild. Also notable is the Six Gallery with Jay DeFeo, Peter Forakis, Wally Hedrick, Manuel Neri. I am posting the entire flier. I find it fascinating. If you know any of the artists listed here or have samples of their work, I would appreciate you contacting me.
