Take a deep dive into the world of Richard Sharpe Shaver's bizarre art, and uncover the secrets of an ancient civilization.

For 15 years prior to his death, Shaver obsessed over the texts and images he saw embedded inside rocks. It was an alien world that few, other than Shaver himself, could see. He began painting what he saw and thus became one of the most controversial outsider artists of the 20th Century. Art historians have compared Shaver's vision to that of fellow outsider artist Stanislaw Szukalski. Work by these two men was exhibited together for the first time in Pasadena, California in 2009.

Rokfogo: The Mysterious Pre-Deluge Art of Richard S. Shaver is the largest collection of Shaver's artwork ever published, with more than 300 illustrations.This beautiful two-volume set documents in intimate detail, the lives and customs of the half human, half fish inhabitants of Richard Shaver's prehistory world. Discover the secrets of a pre-Deluge civilization through Shaver's illustrations, essays, paintings, photographs, and ephemera, as you gain insight into his strange painting technique.

Unlock the mysteries of an antediluvian world in Rokfogo, the Mysterious Pre-Deluge Art of Richard S. Shaver.
