May 12, 2003 The group will be honored at a campus reception Friday, May 23. Each year the SFSU alumni association selects new inductees, whose pictures will
hang on the Hall of Fame wall in the first floor of the J. Paul Leonard Library.
Now a professor emeritus at UC Davis, De Forest, who received a bachelor's degree in art in 1953 and master's degree in art in 1958, was a member
of San Francisco's "Funk Art" movement of the 1960s. His paintings evolved into vividly patterned landscapes packed with animal and human figures.
He's been in more than three dozen one-man exhibits, and his print "Country Dog Gentlemen," was part of a recent exhibition at the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art.
The fourth Hall of Fame inductee, writer and broadcaster Ben Fong-Torres, is also being honored as Alumnus of the Year.
