The Paul Kagan Photographs

 

These publicity photographs of Country Joe and the Fish were taken by photographer Paul Kagan in about October 1966.  The lin-up at this time was Country Joe McDonald, Barry Melton, Bruce Barthol, David Cohen and John Francis Gunning.  Kagan was also responsible for the photographs on the Country Joe and the Fish calendars (October 1966 to February 1967), the photography on a number of the Family Dog posters for the Avalon Ballroom and authored the book New World Utopias.   Paul Kagan died in New York in 1993.  The photographs are from the collection of Ross Hannan.
