The Big Painting, by Ben Sakoguchi, consists of twenty-six separate panels joined to form a single artwork eight feet high by fifty-two feet wide. The painting presents a cacophony of images culled from midcentury visual culture, unified—if just barely—by recurring motifs and continuous passages of color. It was unveiled at the Brand Library Art Center in Glendale, California, in 1971. When the show ended, the painting was dismantled and its parts dispersed. Like performances and installation art from the period, this ambitious project survives in documentary photographs, as well as a few of the original panels, of which this untitled canvas is one.
