Fauxbrow (pronounced fo-brow) is a term amalgamated from the newbrow art movement of today and the fauve
painting movement of one hundred years ago. Both movements have in common a forward-looking idealism
and a tendency toward revolutionary style. Both movements have at their center a respect for nature
and a distrust for the prevailing trends of crass commercialism.
Fauxbrow is inspired by an endless barrage of miraculous phenomenon, but mainly it's like this:
Richard Brautigan meets ee cummings, with touches of Neruda, Merwin, Emily Dickinson, Lester Bangs, Bukowski, Berryman, and Ted Geisel.
And, a tip of the hat to Gauguin, Nietzche, Dylan, Serling, Dyer-Bennet, Kupferberg, Gevanter, Huberman, Cerio, Tompkins, Doucet, Rethorn, and Rexroth.
Be forewarned if you choose to continue, the choice to continue is YOURS.
