Publisher's Synopsis
Dive into the world of Richard Sharpe Shaver's bizarre cosmology to uncover the secrets of an ancient civilization. Rokfogo: The Mysterious Pre-Deluge Art of Richard S. Shaver is the largest collection of Shaver's art ever published, with more than 300 illustrations.
For 15 years prior to his death, Shaver devoted his life to the texts and images he saw embedded inside rocks. It was an alien world that few, other than Shaver himself, could see. Then he began painting what he saw, transforming him into one of the most unusual outsider artists of the 20th Century. This two-volume set documents in intimate detail, the lives and customs of creatures - half human, half fish - that lived in Richard S. Shaver's prehistory world. Discover the secrets of this pre-Deluge civilization in Shaver's illustrations, essays, paintings, photographs, and ephemera, as you gain insights into his strange painting technique. Unlock the mysteries of an antediluvian cosmology in Rokfogo, the Mysterious Pre-Deluge Art of Richard S. Shaver.
