R. Crumb de l'underground à la Genèse

More about the book

The catalog for the huge Crumb exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 2012. The book features 220 unpublished or rare drawings, reproduced in color and mostly full-page. 16 seldom seen photographs. Text is in both English and French. Has a dustjacket that folds out into a 36 x 36 inch poster! "The Modern Art Museum of the City of Paris presents a premiere retrospective exhibit on one of the greatest illustrators of the past fifty Robert Crumb. One of the pioneers of Underground comics, he represents a mythical figure in American counter-culture. His satirical stories tear down moral constraints and provide a sharp critique of society, its shadows and absurdities. The chronological exhibit is designed around Crumbs love/hate/fear of women, music, his raw perspective on the modern world and his introspection."
