A dig on influential beat era artist, Wallace Berman.

For those who wish to understand how we got to where we are currently with the extreme left having infiltrated so much of our culture, one place to dig is the pre-60's beat poet (pre-hippy losers, druggies, pedos, communists, anarchists, pornographers, satanists) era. Among the influential poets of that time is NAMBLA supporter Alan Ginsberg.

Influential beat era artists include one Wallace Berman, who is included in the collage of faces on the Beatles' Sgt Pepper album cover. Wallace Berman is known for having one of his art gallery shows in Los Angeles shut down by vice police in 1957 for obscentity. Wallace is known for his use of images created by using office copy machines, plus cut and pasting images found in magazines. He also shot and edited short film pieces. All of his art was (still is) highly prized by the creepy hip elites of the day. For those familiar with how art and music of the day was used to numb people to the ugliest in humanity, the art of Wallace Berman is an excellent example of that sort of conditioning.

Not surprisingly, the use of symbols and symbology played a big part in his image choices. Beginning at 53 seconds in this brief video clip, art critic Kristine McKenna mentions that the most represented images in Wallace Berman's works are "mystical symbols."

The following video is one of Wallace Berman's film projects titled, Aleph. For those brave enough to withstand extreme programming of this sort, the film is a perfect illustration of how images are used to numb and condition the viewers. He does use nudity in this clip, but no porn images. Perhaps most jarring is the soundtrack music created by one of Wallace's followers, the perfect accompaniment to the visual. Sick people who infected and influenced many of that time, the hippy generation that followed, who in turn infected many more leading up to today.

The following is a link to an interview with Berman's son Tosh, who wrote a book about growing up among those beat era derelicts. Unfortunately, his tone is complimentary and forgiving of the excesses. No doubt much is left out, but there is plenty of names in there to dig on!
