The Book of GENESIS ILLUSTRATED by R. Crumb
Too few of us will be able to afford a Robert Crumb Original piece of artwork, but there are plenty of signed limited edition books, prints and other art pieces that we can get hold of.
And, who know, maybe one day we will be sitting in a cafe and Mr. Crumb will come and take a liking to us and give us a gift.
Of course, his greatest gift is the body of work he has produced for our enjoyment and for those yet come...
Still if you have several thousand dollars to invest in great art... you may find something to your liking in the auctions listed below!
And for those new to investing in art - buy what you like and can afford today! I have personally seen so many opportunities go by, but I suppose Mr. Natural never buys any art....
Robert Crumb's comic book of Genesis is kind of cool.
The artist, Robert Crumb, is famous for his satirical and some might say genuinely perverse humor and art as seen in many underground and above ground comics. So it may come as a surprise that he has done a serious comic book version of Genesis, and it's pretty good.
It took him five years to adapt in art, all 50 chapters. His painstaking research never intrudes on the delights of the reading experience. It maybe his "Sistine Chapel comic.
For humanity and pathos, Adam and Eve, all the stories of Genesis and a great look at God, Robert Crumb's Genesis deserves a place on your coffee table and book shelf.
