Robert Branaman: Mandala Lady "a back cover from Oracle 9 (1967).
its a little funky as i had to scan it several time as its larger than my scanner.
Charles Plymell maid some posters of it in different colors.
i gave a silver one on black paper to Henry Miller
he hung it right in the dinning room, between a Man Ray and a Modigliani
i felt like i had made it. i use to go and have dinner with him, look at my piece and where it was..with Henry you'd just mentioned Pairs and he'd be off for a hour or two
i wish i had recorded it all....I thanked him for turning me on to Cleine / Durell ect.... [sic, email, 2009]
