"All of the artists were active in the 1930s and all made indelible impressions on the California art scene of the day. These artists painted or sculpted in a variety of styles and themes, which, if they could be categorized, would fall within some of the following genres: art deco, regionalism, social realism, Surrealism, and WPA-inspired art."--Page [3].

Six plein-air painters in Oakland, California, joined together in 1917 to form an association that lasted nearly fifteen years. The Society of Six—Selden Connor Gile, Maurice Logan, William H. Clapp, August F. Gay, Bernard von Eichman, and Louis Siegriest—created a color-centered modernist idiom that shocked establishment tastes but remains the most advanced painting of its era in Northern California. Nancy Boas's well-informed and sumptuously illustrated chronicle recognizes the importance of these six painters in the history of American Post-Impressionism. The Six found themselves in the position of an avant garde not because they set out to reject conventionality, but because they aspired to create their own indigenous modernism. While the artists were considered outsiders in their time, their work is now recognized as part of the vital and enduring lineage of American art. Depression hardship ended the Six's ascendancy, but their painterliness, use of color, and deep alliance with the land and the light became a beacon for postwar Northern California modern painters such as Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud. Combining biography and critical analysis, Nancy Boas offers a fitting tribute to the lives and exhilarating painting of the Society of Six.

An invitational painting exhibit held at the Chico Art Center is showcasing artists from the original Visionary Art Movement born in San Francisco out of the late 60s and early 70s. The featured artists were inspired by the psychedelic era, spiritual awakening, transformative synergy, and a search for a deeper meaning of life.The moon landing and seeing the whole earth from space gave a renewed sense of wonder about where we live, and our vision expanded. Utopia, cosmic consciousness, East meets West philosophies, and fantastic realism were concepts that artists would discover and draw upon. Some artists painted scenes of earthly beauty, a return to Eden, or imaginary landscapes from their psyche and the cosmos. Sacred geometry, world building, the beauty of nature and the human body were important themes. The artists became magicians of color, and alchemists of light, transmuting inner visions into wondrous sanctuaries for the soul.This show comes at a particular time when there is a greater need for hope to sustain us moving forward. The works selected for this exhibit and catalog were chosen to foster hope, renew our spirits, create a meditative space to bring us joy and promote healing.

"There is not a trace of the provincial nor the apologetic in the tone of the State of Mind texts. Rather there is a justified claim for the sophisticated originality of this Californian art—sophisticated because the authors have convincingly argued that the artists, for the most part, had many conscious connections and familiarity with art from the rest of the country and Europe, yet were driven by a desire to be independent and different." —Moira Roth, editor and contributor, The Amazing Decade: Women and Performance Art in America 1970-1980 "State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970 is an essential overview of the rich and complex moment when California assumed its role as a leading center for the making and exhibition of the kind of adventurous and progressive art that immediately fascinated the world, and over the years has come to define a generation and a region. An unmatched source of hard-to-find primary images combined with thought-provoking critical essays, this book can easily function as a standard text on this subject.” —David Ross, former director of SFMOMA and the Whitney Museum of American Art, and currently Chairman of the MFA program in Art Practice at The School of Visual Arts
