This male nude is another painting by
Raymond Neher that is clearly anchored in 1960's sensibilities. The
painting is somewhat ethereal and psychedelic in quality. A naked man
appears to float in the sky while holding a rainbow.
One interpretation of the painting could be that of a
resurrected Christ figure rising into heaven. Alternatively, in its
cultural context, it could be a painting inspired by a psychedelic
experience representing a sense of rebirth and identification with the
Rainbow Family.
This painting is an apparent companion to the
female nude painting New Morning I
