He went to Paris in the early 1950s to paint and became involved with the group of expatriate American and a few British figures that included Christopher Logue Dan Jones Alexander Trocchi William Burroughs Iris Owens Richard Seaver who edited the Paris Review Merlin and other periodicals - and subliminally Samuel Beckett whose work some of them espoused. This group was eventually gathered up by Maurice Girodias to advise edit and write for his Olympic Press that published both erotica and literature and where possible a combination of the two in the puritanical days before the Obscene Publication Act 1959 in the UK made literary merit a sufficient counter-balance to allow publication of sexually explicit material. A painter of considerable prestige and some commercial success Rubington was commissioned by Girodias to write pornographic novels for him which he did under the penname of Akbar del Piombo. These were enormously successful with GIs visiting Paris and English readers seeking titillation. He also wrote erotic verse under the same name and illustrated many of these books. Often using scenes in Arab harems and exaggerated often extremely funny orgy scenes his work was characterised by much tongue-in-cheek humour and definite literary quality far beyond the demands of the publisher. There was also a strong streak of social and political satire in his work. Subjects he used included the drug scene war the art world and society generally. Rubington studied art at Yale before the war and in Paris after it. In the army during the war he worked in military intelligence as mapmaker and interpreter of aerial photographs. He was also a war artist. Rubington won the prestigious Prix de Rome as a painter and subsequently spent three years in that city. Other prizes and fellowships followed including the Guggenheim and Tiffany Awards and the Religous Arts Award the latter because of the religous painting he did for churches including a crucifixion for the Grace Cathedral of San Francisco. He was about to be honored by the American Academy of Arts and Letters when he died. His work close to Surrealism and mostly representational is associated with American Expressionism of which he was an early exponent. It is usually infused with humor and an eye for the erotic often including portraits of personalities such as Orson Wells or others he wished to characture. His work hangs in major American museums' collections. His novels mostly published in the Fifties and the early Sixties included Who Pushed Paula Cosimo's Wife Skirts The Traveller's Companion and The Fetish Crowd all written as Akbar del Piombo. Under his own name he published also with Olympia Press the satirical collage novels Fuzz Against Junk and The Hero Maker using the same collage technique as Max Ernst in Une semaine de bonte. He was associated with various groups of painters in both France and the U.S. and took part in many group shows. His own one-man exhibitions were principally in Paris Boston and San Fransisco. In addition he illustrated many books and experimental films some of them leading to the work of Monty Python whose work is similar. His book Twelve Painters Twelve Poets was a successful attempt to bring the arts together---" 1722RO069. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. The Olympia Press, Paris paperback
