HARDCOVER VERSION OF THE CLASSIC BOOK ON ROBERT WILLIAMS' WORK. A reprint edition of the classic book of Robert Williams paintings- drawings and comics. This edition is enhanced with newer- more vibrant and accurate color images. This hardcover edition has a faux leather cover and debossed and tipped in cover imagery as well as foil stamping features. This book is the first to featuring the amazing artwork of Robert Williams- containing an overview of Williams's early work until 1979. T-shirt designs- comics- posters- and all paintings are accompanied by a text commenting on them and introducing Mr. Williams to the public. In the late 20th and 21st century diverse forms of commonplace and popular art appeared to be coalescing into a formidable faction of new painted realism. The phenomenon owed its genesis to a number of factors. The new school of imagery was a product of art that didn't fit comfortably into the accepted definition of fine art. It embraced some of the figurative graphics that formal art academia tended to reject: comic books- movie posters- trading cards- surfer art- hot rod illustration- to mention a few. This alternative art movement found its most congealing participant in one of America's most opprobrious and maligned underground artists- the painter- Robert Williams. It was this artist who brought the term 'lowbrow' into the fine arts lexicon- with his ground breaking 1979 book- The Lowbrow Art of Robt. Williams. It was from this point that the seminal elements of West Coast Outlaw culture slowly started to aggregate. Williams pursued a career as a fine arts painter years before joining the art studio of Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth in the mid-1960's. And in this position as the famous custom car builder's art director- he moved into the rebellious- anti-war circles of early underground comix.
