I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. KATZEX_140426_094.JPG: An Opening of the Field Jess, Robert Duncan, and Their Circle One of the most productive artistic couples of the twentieth century, artist Jess (1923–2004) and poet Robert Duncan (1919–1988) established a domestic space that fostered their creativity and inspired a generation of San Francisco Bay Area artists and poets. The couple nearly filled all four floors of their rambling Victorian house with libraries -- mythology and reference on the ground floor, Oz books and fairy-tale editions in the bedroom, French literature and an exhaustive modernist collection upstairs. All remaining walls were covered with visionary art by friends such as Helen Adam, Wallace Berman, Edward Corbett, Lilly Fenichel, Tom Field, George Herms, Harry Jacobus, R. B. Kitaj, and Philip Roeber. This exhibition showcases Jess and Duncan's synergetic relationship and the cultural view it generated, evidenced through their work and that of their immediate friends and colleagues. Jess's art was about the retrieval of images from a culture overflowing with them. Trained at the San Francisco Art Institute, Jess quickly shifted from abstraction into a unique style of painting that reflected his interests in literature and myth. In his collages -- or, as he called them, "paste-ups" -- he created mind-bending intermingling and fantastic juxtapositions, using images taken from sources ranging from Dick Tracy to D�rer. Jess filtered these far-flung references through a self-described Romantic sensibility, one that valued the transformative power of the imagination above all else. Robert Duncan offered in his writings a myth-obsessed appreciation for all forms of the poetic imagination. A voracious reader of everything from Paracelsus to L. Frank Baum, Duncan published over forty volumes and has been acknowledged as one of the most erudite poets of his time. The publication of a six-volume edition of his collected works is now under way. To varying degrees, the visual artists and poets who were intimates in their circle shared a penchant for romanticism, appreciation of myth, and sense of joyful play. Operating in large part outside the marketplace, they made lyrical, intimate, and humorous art for their own edification and enjoyment. Seen in concert, their works demonstrate both the heritage and legacy of Jess and Duncan's radical experimentation.
