    Jess is an exhibition focusing on the influential San Francisco artist known as “Jess” (Burgess Collins) that explores his ongoing dialog between visual images and printed text. Imaginative collage works and paintings derived from poetry, literary classics, and even the Sunday comics are featured. Jess complements the Ransom Center’s other current exhibition, On the Road with the Beats, which traces the travels of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and their friends across America and the globe. Manuscripts, books, photographs, and visual art from the Ransom Center’s collections tell the story of the Beat Generation and the literary and social revolution they inspired.
