Art & Beauty Magazine Drawings By R Crumb HC Regular Edition

Description

Gathering 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. 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. The images appeal to a purely erotic sensibility, which is undercut by the inclusion of often philosophical prose. This beautiful edition, with a cover specifically designed by Crumb, is a wonderful window into Crumb's world of bodies and ideas, art and beauty, for seasoned supporters and novices alike. Available as a Regular Edition hardcover and a Limited Edition Hardcover of 400 copies signed and numbered by Crumb on a specially designed bookplate.
