introducing

Robert W. Anton

and

Magic Realism

(among myriad other things)

WHO IS ROBERT ANTON ???

easy to ask

BUT

much harder to answer

A "simple approach" might be to say Robert Anton is an "artist"

but then ----- that is somewhat like suggesting

a "rose" is a "flower".

However -- should you be a "seeker of truth"

a bit more information will now be

provided in the following

historical "views"

of ANTON

via his

art.

At this point the presentation becomes difficult

as one "story" begins in Viet Nam while

another begins a bit later at the

Los Altos Apartment Hotel

on Wilshire Boulevard

in Los Angeles

California

SO -- let's  get the Viet Nam "story" started here -- and leave the Los Altos story

 more appropriate setting for the dual story of the

 "doodler" and the "scribbler" who

 existence in

1970

Viet Nam

The only surviving art predating Robert W. Anton's

 "immersion into the flow" that coalesced

 into AHLEC's Journey

are several of the charcoal sketches he produced

 as a "combat artist" in Viet Nam.
