WALLACE BERMAN: FROM IMAGE ON THE WALL

A California artist & major collagist. "In Wallace Berman’s shack in Beverly Glen, I first encountered a then ‘hip’ american work combing a turned-on sensibility with Hebrew letters. Berman later was to develop this through collagic-dada sensibilities and make use of Hebrew letters within the photoplay submissive to the ‘earth’ of southern california." (Jack Hirschman)

From Tree 5 (ed. David Meltzer, Berkeley, California, 1975).
