The Society of Illustrators in NYC presents R. Crumb: Lines Drawn On Paper, running March 23 - April 30, 2021, with an opening reception on Friday March 25 at 7:00 PM.

Event Details:

“Hogarth, Grosz, the Fleisher brothers, Tex Avery, Charles Addams, et cetera are great artists. And so is R. Crumb. In certain ways, he may be the greatest of them all.”
—Jim Jarmusch, The Life and Times of R. Crumb (St. Martin’s Press)

Robert Crumb (b. 1943) is considered the premiere underground comix artist of his generation. With only a smattering of issues and titles such as Zap, Motor City, Head Comics, and Despair, Crumb deconstructed the american comic book, revolutionizing the form forever. Over four decades later, his impact continues to be felt worlwide.

This retrospective, curated by Monte Beauchamp, editor of The Life and Times of R. Crumb (St. Martin’s Press), presents key pieces culled from the underground art collection of Eric Sack, with contributions from Paul Morris and John Lautemann.

Opening Reception for R.Crumb: Lines Drawn on Paper will be on Friday, March 25th, 2011, 7:00pm. Refreshments will be served. Cash Bar will be open until midnight  Suggested donation $15
