The Modern Art, a psychedelic rock band formed by Gary Ramon in the 1980s, was known for its experimental sound and innovative approach to music. Despite a fluid lineup and absence of live performances, the group released two studio albums and several self-produced cassettes, including "Underwater Kites" (1982) and "Oriental Towers" (1983). Their work laid the groundwork for Ramon's subsequent project, Sun Dial, with many members transitioning to this new endeavor.
