Future Shock
As my '1972' paintings progress, I've been looking out for any other stuff that connects with 70's culture. Black on green is a great colour combination, so it was really the style of the book spine of this 1974 edition of Future Shock that caught my eye to start with. One thing leads to another and it turns out that a documentary narrated by Orson Welles was made about Alvin Toffler's book. The documentary has a lot more going for it than the book....click on the Post Title above picture if you want to go back to the future....
