Robert LaVigne by Larry Keenan

"Artist Robert LaVigne in His Studio"
1965
photograph

From Larry Keenan on Micaela Gallery site:

"Robert LaVigne is one of the few Beat artists that was aligned with the Beat poets. Besides his own work he did poster art and graphics for Allen Ginsberg and others. In this photograph he is talking about his huge nude painting of Peter Orlovsky hanging on the wall behind me. The next time I viewed his painting of Orlovsky, thirty years later, it was hanging in the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York."
