DON VAN VLIET, 'CAPTAIN BEEFHEART', DIES AT 69
The New York Times, Obituary, December 18,2010, by Ben Ratliff

Don Van Vliet, an artist of protean creativity who was known as Captain Beefheart during his days as an influential rock musician and who later led a reclusive life as a painter, died Friday. He was 69 and lived in Trinidad, Calif.

The cause was complications of multiple sclerosis, said Gordon VeneKlasen, a partner at the Michael Werner gallery in New York, where Mr. Van Vliet had shown his art, many of them abstract, colorful oils, since 1985.  The gallery said he died in a hospital in Northern California.

Captain Beefheart's music career stretched from 1966 to 1982, and from straight rhythm and blues by way of the early Rolling Stones to music that sounded like a strange uncle of post-punk. He is probably best known for "Trout Mask Replica," a double album from 1969 with his Magic Band.
