Michael Bowen (artist)
Michael Bowen (December 8, 1937 – March 7, 2009) was an American fine artist known as one of the co-founders of the late 20th and 21st century Visionary art movements.〔Thomas Albright, Visionary Art, In a Process of Defining Itself, Rolling Stone no. 91 Sept. 16, 1971 pg 50-52〕 His works include paintings on canvas and paper, 92 intaglio etchings based on Jungian psychology, assemblage, bronze sculpture, collage, and handmade art books.
An icon of the American Beat Generation and the 1960s counterculture, Bowen is also known for his role in inspiring and organizing the first Human Be-In in San Francisco. Chronicled in books and periodicals reflecting on the turbulent 60s, Bowen's historical impact on both the literary and visual art worlds is well documented.〔Maxwell Riddle, Palm Springs Life, June 1986 XXVIII/number 10, "Lady of the Night Michael Bowen's Cafe Life"〕 He remains influential among avant-garde art circles around the world.〔Ted Owen, 1999 'High Art' Sanctuary Publishing Limited pg. 92-94 ISBN 1-86074-256-4〕
==Early career in Los Angeles==
Michael Bowen was born December 8, 1937, in Beverly Hills to Grace and Sterling Bowen, a Hollywood dentist. His mother's lover, Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel, affectionately known as Uncle Benjie to Michael, would often take the youthful Bowen to not only the Flamingo Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada that he created, but also to the Sir Francis Drake Hotel near Union Square in downtown San Francisco. Bowen's early romance with San Francisco established this city as his home base from which he would frequently travel to other places in the world.〔Carl Abrahamsson, Olika Människor, h:ström, page 143, ISBN 978-91-7327-021-2〕 He started his art career at age 17, when he joined the American installation artist Ed Kienholz in his Los Angeles studio. There he met and joined with other influential Beat Generation artists including Wallace Berman, John Altoon, and Dennis Hopper. Bowen participated in the construction of the Ferus Gallery and Now Gallery created by Ed Kienholz and curated by Walter Hopps. Bowen attended the Chouinard Art Institute for several years during his formative artistic experiences in Los Angeles.〔Maxwell Riddle, Palm Springs Life June 1986 vol. XXVIII/no. 10 pg. 60〕
