"It was in 1965 that Hendricks began incorporating sky imagery into his works, so much that fellow Fluxus artist Dick Higgins—coiner of the term “intermedia”—nicknamed him “Cloudsmith.” Hendricks painted sky—often evoked in vivid blues and sunstruck cumulus—on canvases, boots, laundry, ladders, cars, guns, and stairwells, among other everyday objects. Hendricks published a book titled Sky Anatomy in 1985 and a collection of watercolor cards, 100 Skies, in 1993. Perhaps the most recognized (though uncredited) of all of Hendricks’s skies is the one that appears on the cover of John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band’s 1969 album Live Peace in Toronto. In 1977, one critic described his art in these pages as “correct answers to ninth-century Zen koans.” The artist said his fascination with the sky originated with the death of his sister Cynthia, who died when Hendricks was five." - Artforum
