500 |a "Rex Ray (1956-2015): artist, activist, indomitable spirit. Rex Ray arrived in San Francisco in 1981 to find a city rife with possibility--and on the brink of tragedy. He witnessed the devastation of the AIDS crisis and added his voice to a host of LGBT agitators demanding protection and care from idle, apathetic institutions. He built a successful design studio, one of the first to embrace digital tools, working with clients like David Bowie and Patti Smith. And he made art. Big, bold, beautiful canvases swathed in hand-cut, hand-painted organic shapes. Hundreds of exuberant artworks that defied generic conventions and fused disciplines and media. This career-spanning monograph celebrates the legacy of this beloved San Francisco icon. Ray's vibrant collages and paintings are a testament to his creativity and optimism--but more than that, they are proof positive of the life-affirming power of beauty in the face of adversity."--from the publisher.
