This book is a treasure and a treat! Asha has done a painstakingly thorough job -- what's more, she has portrayed Hari as I remember him. -- Howard Lazar, Director of Street Artists Program, San Francisco Arts Commission Hari has an amazing body of works that represent the best examples of bi-coastal modernism. Diebenkorn, and Rauchenberg and so many others must be happy to have Hari with them. -- James Lanigan Thompson, abstract artist, M.F.A. What a delight to meet Hari E. Thomas' artistic vision and vibrant energy through the many voices and images brought together in this book! This portrait curated by Asha Carolyn Young is a moving testament to friendship, shared inspiration, and the living force of art. -- Kirin Narayan, cultural anthropologist and author Hari's paintings are profound. He has such a unique sense of color and movement. I fall into his paintings and emerge with a newly of looking at the world. -- Blake More, artist and poet
