Begston attended Manual Arts High School where he developed an interest in ceramics. He became an avid surfer and while working as a lifeguard, he befriended fellow surfer (and later artist) Kenneth Price. At the California College of Arts and Crafts he studied painting with Richard Diebenkorn and participated in a group exhibition at the avant-garde Six Gallery in San Francisco in 1956. Later, he enrolled in what is now the Otis Art Institute and studied ceramics with Peter Voulkos. His attention gradually shifted from ceramics to painting.<br \/>\nBengston lives and works in Venice Beach, California.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">\n<figure style=\"width: 317px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a style=\"color: #009eb8\" href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Od-YgWj1WEc\/Tq8XKttrFhI\/AAAAAAAAAS0\/iwjmBBud5CY\/s1600\/Bengston1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Od-YgWj1WEc\/Tq8XKttrFhI\/AAAAAAAAAS0\/iwjmBBud5CY\/s320\/Bengston1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Mecca Dracula<\/em>, 1968<br \/> Lithograph<br \/> Gift: Anton Segerstrom, 2007<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<address style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<\/address>\n<address style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<\/address>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\"><\/h6>\n<h6><em>All text and images under copyright.
