This page is also displayed in this record of the database.Gladys Fabre May 2010 writing on inside dust jacket stated: "Painter, writer, poet, filmmaker, and performer Brion Gysin (1916-1986) was a source of inspiration for many Beat Generation artists and for underground culture in general (for Gregory Corso, John Giono, Bernard Heidsieck, but also for Keith Haring, The Rolling Stones, Steve Lacy, the painter Matta and his son Ramuntcho, Laurie Anderson). In books, films and sound poems, together with the author William Burroughs, he developed methods such as Cut-ups and permutations previously employed in painting. With Ian Sommerville, he designed a stroboscopic apparatus to arousing hallucinatory visual effects called the Dreamachine.

Since his death Gysin's own work has only increased in popularity, yet his radical approach to art defies categorization. Brion Gysin: Dream Machine is the first detailed study of Gysin's oeuvre in both art-historical and contemporary contexts.
