Through Prehensile Eyes:
Seeing the Art of Robert Williams
(Last Gasp. Hardback 230 pages)
This is an enormous book, which collects Williams'
most recent 58 paintings. I'm sure that for fans of his work, no
description is necessary, but suffice it to say that as ever they
mix lowbrow and biker culture with surrealism and genius. Robert
Williams sprang from the custom car culture of Southern California
and was one of the original Zap Comix artists. He transcended the
constraints of both, mastering oils and forging a career as the
pre-eminent artist among a generation of imagist painters. He now
sits between the fine art and lowbrow movements.
