Now in paperback, this book is a widely acclaimed retrospective collection of the work by the brilliant and influential underground artist, R.
Robert Crumb, world-famous illustrator and definite pervert, got his start in the underground comics scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book is a collection of his best work from the last 50 years (it’s got kids stuff, too, which is pretty fascinating). The volume is a welcome reminder that, screwed up as Crumb may be, he’s also a tremendously talented, utterly original artist. He artistically embodies a certain segment of the ’60s, and as that fades even further into history, Crumb’s material becomes more important. Is The R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book funny? Yes, certainly, in a coarse, Rabelaisian way; you’ll either find it a hoot, or horribly racist and sexist. And it’s not for the kiddies, obviously. But R. Crumb is so well known by now, that you probably know which group you fall into, the lovers or the haters. The lovers will find this book a wonderful treat.
