{"product_id":"robert-crumb-sketchbook-vol-4-19821989","title":"Robert Crumb Sketchbook Vol 4 19821989 By Crumb, Robert","description":"\u003cp\u003e440 pages of Crumb’s work! It spans the years 1982 to 1989, a period when the artist was comfortably ensconced in rural California, raising his young daughter Sophie, who appears throughout this volume. But Crumb was still Crumb, declaring in one drawing, above a lovingly rendered tree, “As I get older I get more twisted, convoluted, depraved, cynical, embittered, self-centered, jaded, debauched, ruthless, greedy, conceited, set-in-my-ways, long-winded, absent-minded, prejudiced, closedminded, misanthropic, nervous…”To prove this self-flagellating analysis he fills the pages with his signature perversions (in country settings), scathing social commentary, cruel self-portraits, experimental cubism… and some lovely sylvan landscape. His mastery of the Rapidograph pen is at its zenith here in his 40s; we only wish he’d chosen to include his prescient comic of Donald Trump from 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58246416171390,"sku":"NW9783754405727","price":18.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9783754405727.jpg?v=1792196563","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/robert-crumb-sketchbook-vol-4-19821989","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
