[ART] GYSIN, Brion. Original untitled painting. n.p.:n.p.,n.d. Oil on canvas-covered board, ca. 1957. A desert landscape of brown sand and rock outcroppings with a bright blue sky and two Bedouins walking in the right foreground. Signed "Brion" in the corner. One of Gysin's series of desert paintings that he did early in his visit to Morocco. Gysin's desert paintings appear in the first section of Brion Gysin: Tuning in to the Multimedia Age accompanied by Gregory Corso's essay "On Gysin's Desert Paintings" where he states that: "Gysin's desert paintings are pure magic." This painting has significant provenance having been a gift from Gysin to John Starr Cooke and his wife Mary. The Cookes befriended Gysin during their travels to Morocco where they invested in his famous 1001 Nights restaurant. They invited him to join them at their home in Algeria where Gysin spent 1955-56---a period during which he attended the birth of their son from whom we obtained this painting. Interestingly, John Starr Cooke went on to be a central figure in the sixties counterculture where he headed the Psychedelic Rangers, participated in early LSD experiments with Leary and others, and dispatched Michael Bowen to San Francisco to organize the Human Be-In (see Acid Dreams by Martin Lee). The painting measures 9" x 6" framed to 13" x 16" (few small chips to the original frame). Gysin works of this vintage are scarce. SKB-12899	$2500
