The Art of R. L. Margolis

The Happy Carrot Period in the art of R. L. Margolis lasted between January 1983 and February 1983. It was a deeply introspective period when the artist lived in the thriving artistic community of San Francisco. The influence of San Francisco permeates the entire work, in terms of the businesses, locations and vegetables mentioned therein.

The original artistic medium was simple pen and paper but only reproductions have survived over the intervening quarter-century. Even so, the sheer expressiveness, power, vigor and complexity of the work is astonishing. We present these works in the most appropriate way possible: as .jpg files on the internet.

Prepare to be touched in a way that you have never been touched before - artistically.
