A poetry reading in the 5,000-seat Felt Forum of New York's Madison Square Garden: This literary public rally was the brainchild of the young Russian poet of protest, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, and a daring commercial move by his U.S. publishers, Doubleday and Co. Also participating: other major American poets and the era's favorite bard politician? Eugene McCarthy. Hess was a self-taught artist who became one of America's leading painter/illustrators, working in the primitive tradition with his own wit and power. This blending of Yevtushenko's face and figure with the Russian landscape reveals the artist's gift for portraiture and lyrical command.
