Beulah Land: Fred Martin Exhibition Poster, Dilexi Gallery (1967)
The exhibition poster published in conjunction with Fred Martin’s 1967 solo show ("A Book, a Print, & Some Drawings") at the influential Dilexi Gallery of San Francisco. This poster served as a key or glossary to the overall project, providing written context for gallery visitors. In summary, the poster describes Bulahland as the imagined place where Bulah Boy and Bulah Girl live. The exhibition included artist’s proofs, preliminary drawings, and additional unrelated works that employed conceptual metaphors expressing a gentle love for the land and Bulah Boy’s affection for Bulah Girl.
American artist and writer Fred Martin was known for his diverse interests and varied artistic styles, ranging from experiments with oil paint and semi-abstraction to works using calligraphic techniques with a Chinese sumi brush. Throughout his career, Martin frequently incorporated text into his paintings, drawings, collages, and lithographs—an approach that culminated in limited edition artist books such as Beulah Land. Item #1852.
