This is a Bowen work, I know Michael would like people to see.
We love Michael Bowen, or Baba as we call him, even though he has a
difficulty now with the old polio come back for him, and the heart attack,
still he help people, even the contadinos in the village love him. He think
people should not smoke the TOBACO from the corporate/govt. as is shown in
this, his assemblage after a recent heart failure. Baba is o.k. and sends
love to San Francisco.

Beat Party "This oil painting, which Michael Bowen painted from memories of the Beat
period is a masterpiece of Bowens Beat Symbolist style. "Beat Party" is
held in private hands . These Bowen collections are all over the world. It
is rare that any of his works are released to museum shows. There was even
some difficulty in the De Young Museum of San Francisco obtaining its
second painting by Bowen "Miracle of Humanity" for the Whitney Museums
"Beat Culture and the New America" show, which Director Tim Burgard and the
De Young hosted on its American tour.. Fortunantly its owner, musician/art
collector and San Francisco Bon Vivant, Mr. Charles Molle, let the Museum
display "Beat Party" Most of Bowens work is privately owned., and
therefore doubtfull that it will ever appear on the market. Forces are at
work however to see that this large oil is the next is displayed to the
public"

a line drawing of bob hope and gerald ford in palm springs. it is a
simple part of a series i did on palm springs and the folks who"live"
there. if you can use it or any of the palm springs series let me know. its
from my forth coming book "mandalla, the path of Kali"
it has a lot of writing too. some of it is kind of funny to some people, {i
could be your beverly hills reporter, it is my hometown and i actually
still know people and was there for 10 days 4 months ago, In this line
drawing ex pres Gerald is with Americas greatest comedian, you know ,i
could never figure out why while America rotted at the bottom for all too
see,the person who became its officialy funniest man, was named HOPE (he
was always there to entertain the troops) anyway,, All the guys, (you
know who they are} gathered near the 13th hole. All their ears straining to
hear the messages and directions which they had been following for years as
it was broadcst from this bottomless golf course hole in Palm Springs where
, directly from hell, their Presidential instructions had been given.
Of course these guys
(you know who They are) actually all competed with unbrideled deadliness to
comply with every nuance which He , SATAN,ordered them to do.I think its
only natural to think... " One might ask " why? The answer is
unfortunantly, both banal, and true
