Robert Crumb
R. Crumb is the acclaimed pioneer of underground comics, having created such distinctive characters as Mr. Natural, Angelfood McSpade, and Fritz the Cat. Sparing no one including himself, Crumb’s social commentary and sexual fantasies have appeared in Zap magazine, which he co-produced, and Weirdo magazine, which he created with his wife, artist Aline Kominsky.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
