A retrospective of the work of this colorful artist covering 40 years is on view at the Fine Arts Museum, Legion of Honor in San Francisco, CA until the end of November.

Included are more than 100 items starting from the 70’s “when the artist abandoned painting to work exclusively with photography and text. He is known for his use of photographic images and text to which he adds colorful cutout shapes to create unique collage-based arrangements.”
