Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Illustrated by Jonathan Williams, Roger Manley, Guy Mendes (illustrator). PAtron's Edition; First Printing. "Outsider artist Eddie Owens Martin was living in New York when he had a series of visions while suffering from a high fever. In his visions, three "people of the future" from a place called Pasaquan selected him to depict, through art, a peaceful future for human beings. After receiving these visions, Martin began to call himself St. EOM. According to St. EOM, the Pasaquan messengers instructed him to "return to Georgia and do something." His response was the establishment of Pasaquan, a visionary art site that he began building around 1955 and continued until his death by suicide in 1986. Today Pasaquan is maintained and operated today by Columbus State University, which assumed control of the site in 2016. It is located in Buena Vista, Marion County, Georgia.This stunning book, as told to and recorded by Tom Patterson, whose other books include Contemporary Folk Art: Treasures From the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Howard Finster; Stranger From Another World, is the Patron's Edition from The Jargon Society, #50 of 100 specially bound and numbered copies signed by Patterson as well as photographers Jonathan Williams, Roger Manley and Guy Mendes on the colophon page, which erroneously states that the Patron's Edition was leather bound, which it was not.
