About the Item

Colorful and dynamic oil abstracted geometric composition by Ross H. Pollette also paints under the pseudonyms 'Max West' (American, b. 1948), circa 1980. Unsigned. From collection of paintings. Unframed. Ross H. Pollette (American, b. 1948) is a designer and author from San Francisco, California. Pollette writes under the pseudonyms 'Max West' and 'Ross X.' He frequently designs the covers for his books. From his bio, he describes himself as: "Designer/writer/composer/former CEO of Max West Enterprises-- lives and works in San Francisco CA." He likes raising carnivorous plants, beer and cast metal sculptures. West has been in wars--doesn't approve of them; is against 'Time' and 'consensus reality', is for creativity and human dignity. Quote: 'Choosing 'Art' as a life course isn't as much fun as fighting a giant squid with a harpoon or going to an alternate reality and killing your parents but by the time I got here all the good jobs were taken...' Love, Max West and Ross X (split personalities of R.H. Pollette)"
