The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"
—Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Melancholy breakfast
blue overhead blue underneath
the silent egg thinks
and the toaster's electrical
ear waits
the stars are in
"that cloud is hid"
the elements of disbelief are
very strong in the morning
Art: Melancholy Breakfast, from Stones — Larry Rivers (1923-2002)
Poem: "Melancholy Breakfast" by Frank O'Hara

Robert Fraser by Larry Rivers
Larry Rivers featured Robert Fraser's likeness in several pieces of art created in 1966.
Fraser, 1966, in the Tate Collection, screenprint and mixed media on paper
Map with Fraser, 1966, in the Tate Collection, screenprint and mixed media on paper
Underground with Two Frasers, 1966, in the Tate Collection, screenprint and mixed media on paper
Underground with Fraser, 1966, in the Tate Collection, screenprint and mixed media on paper
OK Robert, OK Negro, 1996(?), scanned from Groovy Bob; I haven't been able to find an image of this online, so it's not clear if this work is black and white or color
Robert Fraser as a Square, 1966, found on Artnet
UPDATE: Two more Rivers pieces
This seems to be variations of OK Robert, with an actual tie as part of the work, signed by Rivers. Courtesy of Spanish Tony Media on Instagram; shop here for images by Tony Sanchez
So interesting how Rivers used the same imagery to different effects in each work. Map with Fraser is wonderful - Robert literally at the center of swinging London!
