| | "James Doolin's Illusionistic Vision," an essay By Patricia Hickson |
 | | Doolin recalls that exterior acrylic paints were new to the market, and their bright and wild 1960s color combinations were reflected in the city's buildings. |
 | | Doolin soon was accepted to the University of California,, with his graduate education subsidized by the G.I. Bill and a teaching assistantship. |
 | | Doolin addressed the paintings' meaning in the exhibition brochure: "To all questions as to whether they are 'supposed to be' architectural, religious or sexual, metaphysical, ritualistic, floral, phallic, hard edge or colour field, mechanical or sensual, solid or atmospherical, ancient or modern, spatial or flat, cold or warm, calm or intense, the answer is yes." |
