Perhaps more so than any other artist of his generation Raymond Pettibon best captured the discontent & counterculture spirit of the late 1970s & early 1980s in America Immersed in the punk scene in Southern California Pettibon let loose on the hypocrisies & greed of the capitalist political machine His work captured the attention of the LA art scene & eventually the larger art world This book-produced in close collaboration with the artist-is the most comprehensive volume on Pettibon's work to date It explores his art over the past thirty years & charts the evolution of his slyly sophisticated cartoonish pen-&-ink drawings
