The exhibition Jess: To and From the Printed Page, which focuses on artist Burgess Collins, known as 'Jess' (1923-2004). Influential as an artist in his own right, Jess emerged in the 1950s from within the literary context of Beat culture in San Francisco. The exhibition explores how his imagery became a form of dialogue with the written word. Included in the exhibition are the artist's 'paste-ups,' collages composed of old book illustrations and photographs from magazines, and the celebrated impastos from his 'Translation' series. The exhibition features more than 50 works of original art, dated between 1952 and 1993, including collages the artist made for publication, the books and magazines in which they were reproduced, key paintings, and audio recordings of the artist reading his poetry.
