DESCRIPTION:
Cofounder of the seminal New Wave band DEVO, he was a prolific visual artist before the band's inception moving seamlessly between multiple mediums creating bold, cartoonish, strangely disturbed works of pop surrealism that playfully explore the relationship between technology and individuality. Mark Mothersbaugh is a legendary figure for fans of both street art and music culture. In the most comprehensive presentation of his work to date, Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia features a lifetime of his creative inventions from the beginning of his artistic career in the 1970s to his most recent work, including early postcards, screen prints, decals, and DEVO ephemera as well as later paintings, photographs (such as the celebrated Beautiful Mutants series), sculpture, and rugs. Accompanied by a major six city traveling exhibition, this richly illustrated catalog positions Mothersbaugh
wild art but true art cteno4 great book. friend saw his exhibit in chicago and loved it so i got her the book and she really has enjoyed it. his art is quite fun and creative, he definitely takes a different look at things and thats where his art spirit shines thru, creating something not always beautiful but has a true creative perception going on that your mind stops and registers as real art. Five Stars Must have for anyone who's following Mark Mothersbaugh art.. Five Stars Must own for any fan of Mark.
Mothersbaugh works in virtually every form and medium, and his work has always been unified and singular (perhaps a result of the simple fact that it all comes from the same exotic and densely populated alien planet: his brain). "Mr. For forty years, he has set about creating a body of work that amounts to his own Magic Kingdom." -Wes Anderson"Myopia features a career's worth of paintings, photos, and sculpture, and rightly positions Mark Mothersbaugh as a central figure of contemporary pop surrealism."-Maxim magazine
