<br>Lake Merritt is a lake located in a large tidal lagoon basin in the center of Oakland, California, just east of Downtown. It is named after Samuel Merritt, Oakland's mayor in 1867–1869, who had the lagoon dammed turning the tidal lagoon into a salt water lake. It is surrounded by parkland and city neighborhoods.

<br>The extraordinary compositions and brash colors in Lemos' "The Green Cove" (pl.30a), "Sleepy Heads" (pl.31a), and "The Sunset Mountain" (pl.32b) anticipate the psychedelic world of 1960s Pop Art. How many of his contemporaries were this inventive?
