Lorser Feitelson (1898–1978) was an artist known as one of the founding fathers of Southern California–based hard-edge painting. Born in Savannah, Georgia, Feitelson was raised in New York City, where his family relocated shortly after his birth. His rise to prominence occurred after he moved to California in 1927. Feitelson, along with his peers Karl Benjamin, Frederick Hammersley and John McLaughlin, was featured in the landmark 1959 exhibition Four Abstract Classicists at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and later at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Curated by Los Angeles–based critic and curator Jules Langsner, the exhibition introduced the general public to the dazzling visual language created by a revolutionary group of painters. A revised version of this exhibition re-titled West Coast Hard Edge was presented in London at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and then in Belfast, Northern Ireland at Queens Court. The painting "Magical Space Forms" from 1951, reproduced below, was included in this exhibition.

The Parable of Arable Land is the 1967 debut studio album by the Red Crayola (later known as Red Krayola). The album features experimental, confrontational rock songs interspersed with free improvised pieces featuring noise played by a group of over 50 people known as "the Familiar Ugly", including notable instrumental cameos by label mate and 13th Floor Elevators frontman Roky Erickson. Upon release, the album sold 50,000 copies, selling out its original pressing and receiving some minor attention in the music press. Its sound was retrospectively described by AllMusic as "part psychedelia, part garage punk, and partly some sort of experimental rock that would not truly make itself known until many years down the road". It would influence artists during the punk-era, presaging styles such as new wave, post-punk, and art rock.
