Robert Crumb review – sexual deviancy elevated to an art form
['Eddy Frankel']
The Guardian
It is unnerving to walk into a gallery and see all your deepest fears and anxieties splayed out across the wall, but that is the power of Robert Crumb.
Now he is being celebrated in an ultra-high-end London gallery, with pages ripped from his notebooks and framed up like the finest of fine art.
It’s classic Crumb: skinny men quivering with worry and fear and hormones in a cruel, uncaring, senseless world – filled with towering women in thigh-high boots, obviously.
Crumb is obviously worthy of being shown in a swanky Mayfair gallery, but equally, there is nothing wrong with comic books.
