[ART] GYSIN, Brion. Original untitled painting. n.p.:n.p.,n.d. Oil on canvas-covered board, ca. 1957. A desert landscape of brown sand and rock outcroppings with a bright blue sky and two Bedouins walking in the right foreground. Signed "Brion" in the corner. One of Gysin's series of desert paintings that he did early in his visit to Morocco. Gysin's desert paintings appear in the first section of Brion Gysin: Tuning in to the Multimedia Age accompanied by Gregory Corso's essay "On Gysin's Desert Paintings" where he states that: "Gysin's desert paintings are pure magic."
