These mysterious drawings were discovered in a cabin in Carmel, California after the artist’s death. After World War I, Grant Wallace (1868–1954) built a small cabin in the forest near Carmel, California, which he used as a laboratory for experimenting with telepathy, which he sometimes referred to as “mental radio.” He made hundreds of drawings, charts, diagrams, and writings, attempting to reveal the patterns of life, including reincarnation, communication with intelligent life on other planets, and with dead spirits. He wrote about messages from the dead, from ancient Greeks, ancient Egyptians, Vikings, and Atlanteans, to more recent dead, such as Thomas Jefferson and Charles Darwin, and transcribed messages from and drew pictures of extraterrestrial life, especially from the Pleiades star cluster.
The first gallery exhibition ever to be mounted of the work of Grant Wallace was nearly 70 years after his death at the Ricco/Maresca Gallery in New York in 2022.
