“As far as visual art goes, it has to reveal something about reality that you can't really put into words. Any artist who can explain his work with words is not exactly on the right track. It's tough. You're always probing down in the dark and you reveal things to yourself as you do your art. People who use formulas or use their skill mainly just to make money -- I don't know how they can stand it. It must become very boring, I would think.”

Robert Crumb
Robert Crumb, born August 30, 1943, is an American cartoonist and a seminal figure of the underground comix movement. Known for his bold, satirical, and often controversial style, Crumb created iconic works such as "Fritz the Cat," "Mr. Natural," and the "Zap!" series, which sharply critique 1960s American culture, sexuality, and politics. His art has profoundly influenced both the comic medium and popular culture, challenging mainstream norms while sparking debates over his portrayals of gender and race. Crumb’s legacy reshapes the aesthetic of American comics and provides a model of creative freedom for subsequent independent artists. more
