Art & Beauty Magazine: Drawings by R. Crumb

"I think Robert's deep, almost unnerving honesty is one of the truly unique qualities that has created his enormous and loyal fan base," Paul Morris writes in David Zwirner Books' gorgeous, crazily affordable new hardcover collecting all three volumes of R. Crumb's Art & Beauty Magazine (also available in a signed and numbered limited edition). "He gives his readers permission to admit to their own desires, even if they verge on taboo. I have witnessed dinner parties where people open up to Robert as if he were their psychologist because they sense his innate acceptance. If hitting a nerve and inspiring people is the sign of a great artist, then Robert wears the mantle as well as any other." Featured spread is from Art & Beauty: Number 1.
