Inhaltsangabe

<b>A remarkable portrait of a web of artistic connections, traced outward from Jay DeFeo&#8217;s uniquely generative work of art</b><br><br> Through deep archival research and nuanced analysis, Elizabeth Ferrell examines the creative exchange that developed with and around <i>The Rose</i>, a monumental painting on which the San Francisco artist Jay DeFeo (1929&#8211;1989) worked almost exclusively from 1958 to 1966. From its early state to its dramatic removal from DeFeo&#8217;s studio, the painting was a locus of activity among Fillmore District artists. Wallace Berman, Bruce Conner, Wally Hedrick, and Michael McClure each took up <i>The Rose</i> in their photographs, films, paintings, and poetry, which DeFeo then built upon in turn. The resulting works established a dialogue between artists rather than seamless cooperation. Illustrated with archival photographs and personal correspondence, in addition to the artworks, Ferrell&#8217;s book traces how <i>The Rose</i> became a stage for experimentation with authorship and community, defying traditional definitions of collaboration and creating alternatives to Cold War America&#8217;s political and artistic binaries.
