In an era of unacceptance, these men formed one of the most fascinating artistic partnerships of the 20th century. At the epicenter of a remarkable circle of friends, Jess and Duncan shared an enduring, collaborative genius that inspired and changed the creative vision of a generation of artists and writers. This is the first exhibition to explore the couple's artistic production and relationship. Through more than 140 individual and collaborative works of art and personal letters drawn from private and public collections, this exhibition also looks at their influence and unique position as precursors of Postmodernism. This companion catalogue includes essays by William Breazeale, Ph.D., curator at the Crocker Art Museum, as well as guest curators Michael Duncan and Christopher Wagstaff." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: An opening of the field: Jess, Robert Duncan, and their circle, by Michael Duncan; "This here other world": the art of Robert Duncan and Jess, by Christopher Wagstaff; Gallery of works by Jess and Robert Duncan; Paste-ups by Jess: a reading in the labyrinth, by William Breazeale; Poetry as primary community: Duncan, Spicer, Blaser, McClure, Olson, Levertov, and Creeley, by James Maynard; Circle of artists.
