Book Description
Raymond Pettibon is a well-known California-based artist whose comic-like illustrations, complete with captions, have won him a large following among fans of pop art. His extremely rare self-published books are highly sought after by collectors, and his work has been exhibited in recent years in solo shows at The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Renaissance Society in Chicago. He has also illustrated album covers for rock groups including Sonic Youth and Black Flag. Otto Dix was born in Germany in 1891. His service as a private and seargent in World War I was a formative experience that led to some of his most recognized work, his etching protfolio from the early 1920s entitled "The War." Fired from his job teaching art in Dresden by the Nazis, Dix retired to a quiet life of painting during the 1930s and 1940s. After the War, Dix resumed his art career, working in the media of painting, drawing, etching, and lithographs, until his death in 1969.
