The Daily Feast is a joyous and savory collaboration between old friends, Sonoma painter Chester Arnold and Berkeley poet Bart Schneider. All the work focuses on food and drink, from oysters on the half shell to dirty martinis, with an afterword by legendary Napa chef and restaurateur Cindy Pawlcyn.

Each of four beautiful broadsides is printed in archival ink on German etch paper, hand-numbered and signed by the artists. Shipping included on all print orders.
Cutting Edge ART
Aliens explores some of the artist’s pioneering themes: “Reverse Anthropology” and “Reverse Modernism,” and is filled with the artist’s brash, spot-on humor. Aliens is divided in halves, with two front covers. One half proceeds from left to right and showcases single-page works, while the other half unfolds from right to left, in the traditional manner of codices. Although the book is printed on heavy stock in a wide, landscape format, it sells for twenty-five dollars.
Chagoya’s art reminds us that we are all aliens; it speaks directly to the absurd and horrifying return to tribalism in our time, as many lives are threatened and numerous freedoms curtailed.
This outstanding selection of abstract works on paper by California painter Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993) draws from three distinct periods of his work: the early experiments (1949–1955), which took him from Sausalito to Albuquerque, Urbana, and Berkeley; the celebrated Ocean Park period (1967–1988); and the final years in Healdsburg, California (1988–1992). The majority of the 88 images reproduced in this volume, are previously unpublished and available here for the first time.

After a distinguished early career as an abstract painter, Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993) focused almost exclusively on the human figure from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s. With noted Bay Area painters David Park, Elmer Bischoff, Theophilus Brown, and Frank Lobdell, Diebenkorn drew regularly from live models. In his introduction to this volume, Sonoma painter Chester Arnold says, “[Diebenkorn] rarely paid academic homage to anatomy, yet the accuracy of his readings yields that rare fusion of knowing and questioning, of grace and impetuousness that give his drawings their dignity and power.“ The majority of the 99 images reproduced are previously unpublished and available here for the first time.

Diebenkorn produced a vast and sophisticated body of works on paper. This volume reveals the importance of these drawings in the Ocean Park period and, with the aid of documentary photographs, highlights pertinent aspects of the artist’s studio spaces and working processes. The luminous textural details of the drawings come alive in this intimate book.
