  By 1967, Eric Burdon took the Animals into a harder, more psychedelic sound than the one listeners recognized from the band’s earlier incarnation. Burdon would later take this style even further when he teamed up with an obscure Los Angeles band known as War. The poster was printed only once before the concert

  “Shamballa” 1965

  Oil on board

  Signed: Napoli (scrafitto on front), Giuseppe Napoli 1965 “Shamballa”

  (on back of board), Giuseppe Napoli (signed twice on stretcher)

  H: 24” x W: 20”

  A profoundly dynamic Abstract Expressionist painting by New York artist, Giuseppe Napoli. The painting is painted on board which is affixed to stretcher bars by staples.

  Giuseppe Napoli was part of the New York School of the 1950’s and 60’s working out of a small studio in Greenwich Village. Napoli participated in numerous exhibitions but unfortunately his career was cut short by his suicide in 1967 the result of suffering from periods of depression.

  Just as “Starry Night” is widely considered to have reflected the mental state of Van Gogh shortly before his death; this painting may also have reflected the mental state of Giuseppe Napoli who ended his own life only two years after creating this remarkable painting. The vigorous, heavy impasto, the ominous sun made impotent by the bold black ring that surrounds it and the jumbled landscape below, could be symbolic of the hope-against-hope, that eventually prevailed.
