Rat Bastard Protective Association
[edit]It appears that this artist was an original member of the Rat Bastard Protective Association. I am interested in the RBPA. The dates for the RBPA would be from c.1959 to today, for example: Manuel Neri, Joan Brown, Jay DeFeo, Wally Hedrick, Wallace Berman, Jess, and George Herms. However, little or no material pertains to the RBPA on this page? Does any editor have any thoughts on this? [1] --Ratbastardassn (talk) 20:56, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- It seems fine to add mention of RBPA to the Herms page but not necessarily a huge oversight. It seems like a label applied to a group of friends, like a subgenre of Beat, but the artists all had their own things going on and weren't primarily acting together as a collective? I don't personally know a lot about it though I'm familiar with the term and the artists involved.StaceyEOB (talk) 22:19, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- @StaceyEOB| it was not my intent at all to point out a huge oversight, i was mostly interested in hearing from editors about a modest, tempered, accounting. this fact would in no way overshadow their great personal accomplishments. just another linkage / spiritual / artistic symbol of a moment in Beat Generation time / alliance / solidarity. --Ratbastardassn (talk) 17:56, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry for any misunderstanding! I only meant: Totally, yes, go for it. I didn't know if this was a notability question.StaceyEOB (talk) 02:10, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
- ok i did! --Ratbastardassn (talk) 04:36, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
