DESCRIPTION:
Vavoom! If you're the sort of person that would be interested in a compendium of Pettibon artwork, this is absolutely essential. However, it must be advised that the binding is exceedingly cheap and it must he handled with kid gloves while you're perusing it, hence the docking of one "star" rating unit.. EXCELLENT. Fabulous book I love his art and this has a huge selection of it- If you are easily offended don't buy it.. Charles Abyss said Essential. You didn't end up here by accident, you know own who the artist is and he's done. If you're looking at this and wondering, should I? You should. Covers a wide period of time (including the flyers and albums) and has neat little write ups by the artist. Just get it.
(Shepard Fairey Playboy)As the resident artist for Black Flag, Pettibon illustrated hordes of their album covers and show flyers, all stamped with the trademark four black bars now so recognizable from endless T-shirts and tattoos. (Shana Nys Dambrot Whitehot Magazine)In many ways, Raymond Pettibon is a master of black comedy: His poetic imagery seduces you, and then it cracks you over the head. Every so often, a fresh monograph comes out on a well-known, even rock star-status artist. Well, maybe one or two new or previously unreleased tracks to sweeten the pot.

This is the definitive Pettibon volume for novices and experts alike.. Sections are introduced with excerpts from interviews with the artist, and are further discussed in an appendix by curator Ulrich Loock. Published for a major Pettibon retrospective in Europe, the book includes a complete facsimile of his first artist’s book, Captive Chains—unavailable for decades—plus early drawings completed with his nephew, record covers, flyers and sections dedicated to collages and drawings from the 1980s to today. Of particular interest are Pettibon’s own readings of individual works in the book. Raymond Pettibon: Homo Americanus presents over 600 works from every part of the artist’s career, the majority of which have never been published before. This catalogue is the first to tackle Pettibon’s work as a whole—as a kind of hive-mind of American culture whose various branches constantly address and reinterpret one another. In excerpts paired with corresponding images, Pettibon guides readers through his complex turns of thought, inviting readers to enter more deeply into his thinking. Arranged thematically in 32 chapters, it charts the appearance and development of the themes that have defined Pettibon’s oeuvre. Also featured are biographical notes compiled by Lucas Zwirner
