Who the Hell is Robert Ronnie Branaman?

Beat Generation poet, painter, and film producer Bob Branaman continues to make avant garde art today. Branaman joined the Beatniks in San Francisco in the 1950s, part of the Witchita Vortex, which included Charles Plymell and Michael McClure, and soon made his name as a hep cat. He outlived many of his bohemian contemporaries, despite his bad habits. In Spring 2010 he had a show of his paintings at Beyond Baroque in Los Angeles.
