Instrumental in the formation of the underground comics scene in
San Francisco during the 1960s and 1970s, Crumb has ruptured and
expanded the boundaries of the graphic arts, redefining comics and
cartoons as countercultural art forms. Presenting a slice of
Crumb's unique universe, this book features a wide array of printed
matter culled from the artist's five-decade career-tear sheets of
drawings and comics taken directly from the publications where the
works first appeared, magazine and album covers, broadsides from
the 1960s and 1970s, tabloids from San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury,
Oakland, Manhattan's Lower East Side, and other counterculture
enclaves, as well as exhibition ephemera. Complementing this volume
are historical works from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
that have inspired Crumb and pages from his rarely seen sketchbooks
from the 1970s and 1980s that reveal his exemplary skill as a
draftsman. Documenting the critically acclaimed exhibition Drawing
for Print: Mind Fucks, Kultur Klashes, Pulp Fiction & Pulp Fact
by the Illustrious R. Crumb at David Zwirner, New York, in 2019,
curated by Robert Storr, this publication offers an opportunity to
immerse oneself in Crumb's singular mind. In the accompanying text,
Storr explores the challenging nature of some of Crumb's work and
the importance of artists who take on the status quo.
