ARTIST ROY DEFOREST DIES

[Editor's note: Photo of DeForest available upon request.]

Roy DeForest, who was born into a Nebraska farmworker family during the Great Depression and became one of the most important artists of his generation, died Friday following a brief illness. He was 77.

DeForest, a longtime professor of art at the University of California, Davis, was one of the originators of a Northern California art movement once described by Washington Post art reviewer Sidney Lawrence as a style "in which counterculture thinking fused with an anything-goes, anti-art attitude harking back to the Dadaists of the World War I era." The style, marked by exuberant, outrageous wit, was sometimes called "California funk," a classification DeForest disliked.
