Original reverse painting by Residents' co-founder Hardy Fox on acetate, measuring 16 x 19.75". Image of Edweena, variant of that used on cover of The Residents' second studio album (but shelved until it was released as their fourth album overall), Not Available. The back of that album credits it "based on a drawing by a Resident"-- presumably this is either the drawing or a later development of it. In this painting Edweena's skin is a normal hue (not green), her hair brown as opposed to bright red, her eyes red, her name is not written along her collar, and the background is a sedate turquoise rather than Near Fine, with paint loss to upper corners, a few tiny flakes along sides. From the estate of Hardy Fox. Not Available is a favorite among Residents fans, but also a very dark album. Not surprisingly, it came from a very dark place. The fandom wiki for the group states: "Following the commercial failure of Meet The Residents (which sold only forty copies in its first year of release) the group's lead composer [Hardy Fox] was in the midst of 'a bit of depression' and, simultaneously coming to terms with the growing realisation that he was gay, spent a great deal of time alone in The Residents' studio, writing and recording 'somber melodies' with an old piano which he later called his 'best friend' at that time [.] The tensions which had developed among the members of The Residents peaked in the summer of 1974, supposedly culminating in a 'horribly embarrassing' food fight in a Chinese restaurant.Instead of allowing the group to splinter, The Residents isolated themselves, conducting 'rehearsals' as a form of group therapy. Through these rehearsals (inspired by psychodrama, a psychotherapy method in which participants act out their emotions through interpersonal interaction within a stage-like setting), a stylized and surreal narrative began to develop." That psychodrama informs the album, an opera of sorts. Like the music, its album cover is distinctively off-putting. It's cartoonish but certainly not cute or comical, full of resigned, frowning faces and a certain emotionally-drained surrealism. Like the Residents oeuvre, it is what it is. No apologies.…
