Heavily illustrated with color images of Bess's work. Near fine/near fine: An extremely nice copy. Dust jacket has the tracemost shelf-wear, and that's a…bout it. The American artist Forrest Bess was famous not just for his abstract yet mystical oriented paintings, but also for a bizarre episode in his life where he surgically altered his penis and urethra in order to possess a new form of genitalia. There are rumors he performed the surgery on himself. Either way, the work and documentation of said work is great in this book, and at one point you get a big eyeful of the surgery's results. Bess, Forrest (illustratore).

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Scarce. Signed. Fine illustrated boards in near fine dust jacket. First edition/first printing. 4to. 168 pp. Color plates & illus.; photos; biblio. Author Chuck Smith is a filmmaker who made a documentary about Bess in 1999, also called "Forrest Bess:… Key to the Riddle." Forrest Bess was a painter, fisherman, hermit, & pseudo-hermaphrodite (by means of self-surgery) who lived his life in obscurity at a bait camp on the Gulf coast of Texas. From 1949 through 1967, Bess showed at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York, alongside artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Today his paintings fetch six figures when they come up for sale. Inscribed by the author on half-title page: "To Mark" with the black comedic quip "This is not a how-to book." There is an article about Wisconsin indy filmmaker-actor Mark Borchardt laid in (with a margin note at mention of Lesy's photobook _Wisconsin Death Trap_). We found this book in Milwaukee, so we surmise that the inscriptee is Mark Borchardt, best known for the film "American Movie" (also from 1999). Ships fast with tracking. Inscribed by Author(s).
