“From the very start we were brothers” wrote Kerouac to Cassady in December 1950 in response to a 16,000 word hand-written letter Cassady had sent a month earlier detailing his exploits as a young hoodlum in Denver. The letter inspired Kerouac and unlocked what would become his trademark stream-of-conciousness writing style. Between them, Kerouac the football player gone wrong and now author, and Cassady the car thief, pool-hall hustler, bus station seducer, speed freak and jazz lover, would go on to spectacularly revive the idea of pilgrimage in the American imagination with the groundbreaking book ‘On The Road.’ After travelling thousands of miles together in a 1949 Hudson Commodore, Cassady would later go on a different magic trip with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters on the further bus.
One of the ‘Alter Egos’ series which celebrates the yin and yang of creative partnerships which have produced inspired work in the fields of art, music and movies. These mirror-image style compositions are designed to be hung with whoever the owner feels most affinity to at the top, or can be rotated on a regular basis to keep the proposition ’fresh’.
