Roy De Forest is best known for his whimsical paintings of wild-eyed, pointy-eared dogs frolicking in crazy-quilt jungles, but he was also a pioneering force in the California assemblage movement. In 1960 he suddenly burst onto the San Francisco scene with a subspecies of that movement all his own, which he called “boardism.” Reviewing his debut at the Dilexi Gallery, Dean Wallace of the “San Francisco Chronicle” enthused: “He takes boards, sticks, and irregular scraps of wood, other miscellaneous materials, just about every hue of paint known to man, and in a frenzied delight of creativity whips out some of the wiggiest, most utterly delightful works of art that have graced gallery walls within my recent memory.”
