New Jim Flora print: Big Evening (1960)

Irwin Chusid has just published a new Jim Flora print. Only 25 copies were produced. (That horsey creature gives it a bit of a Guernica vibe.)

Jim Flora Art has released a limited edition fine art print of a 1960 tempera titled BIG EVENING. The hyperactive tableau depicts a cavalcade of misshapen, multi-eyed mutants with bonus body parts. People just like you!

Irwin wrote the greatest music history book ever…”Songs In the Key of Z, the curious world of outsider music”. Well worth finding. I’ve probably read and re-read it 30x.

Guernica? Yeah, this reminds me so much of Picasso but it has a wackiness about it that makes it more fun than Picasso ever got.

#4 & #1 : The mechanism that he, sadly, uses in that book is marginalize them all as freaks. I have no problem with uniting disparate artists in terms of their proximity to the record business, or by economic criteria, or other non-aesthetic categories, but the paternalistic tone of that book was very disappointing. “What a weirdo!” is its refrain.

boing boing,
Thank you very much.
I have been trying to find one of my favorite childhood books for some time. I couldnâ€™t remember the name of the book or the author but I always new that I would find this book again because of its distinctive art. I recognized the art style from the picture in your post immediately. I now know the name: Jim Flora’s “Grandpa’s Ghost Stories” was one of my childhood favorites, thank you for bring it back to me.
