ROY DEAN DE FOREST AMERICAN, 1930-2007 DOG WITH SHADOW (A.K.A THE DOG) Color lithograph with silkscreen on Arches paper with handpainted frame by the artist Upper left signed: Roy De Forest; lower left A/P; lower right dated: 1975 Catalogue note: "Roy De Forest belonged to a group of Bay Area individualists who...were often grouped under the heading of Funk, a term De Forest disliked; the New York art world tended to lump them together as regionalists. De Forest was well versed in Abstract Expressionism but gradually turned its formal lessons to narrative, nonabstract imagery. His early abstractions morphed into crusty maplike expanses teeming with odd textures, cartoon details, little folk-art silhouettes and swarming dots. De Forest was a lover of dogs, rarely owning fewer than two. By the mid-1960s he had developed a sardonic Americana of guys and dogs, overlapping with other animals, birds and sometimes imaginary beings in flattened landscapes, whose hallucinatory colors and a down-home woodsiness presaged the nascent counterculture. The dots developed into coarse pointillism, becoming something of a trademark; the little dollops of paint resembled chocolate chips (or for some, LSD tabs)." Artist's Obituary, NYT, Roberta Smith
