About this item
R. Crumb's beguiling drawings of bodacious and bold women from the 1990s to the presentGathering all three volumes of R. Crumb's acclaimed Art & Beauty Magazine, this publication guides the reader through the 20-year history of Crumb's magazine, from the earliest images in the 1990s to the most recent drawings completed in 2016.Art & Beauty: Number 1, originally published by Kitchen Sink Press in 1996, is at once a satirical take on aesthetics and a continued exploration of Crumb's subversion of sexuality and mainstream values. Drawings of women in positions ranging from lascivious to modest are accompanied by quotations, many of which are from artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Harvey Kurtzman. Mining his own obsessions and fantasies, Crumb reimagines the history of art, challenging social mores and expectations of propriety around the female form.
