R Crumb
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1943- )
Lives and works in Sauve, France

R Crumb, considered by many as the most prominent of the 'underground' comic artists, has recently become more widely known not just as an artist, but as a musician and collector of vintage American jazz music. Nevertheless, his anti-establishment, satirical and raw take on American culture persists, and his friendship with fellow iconoclast Charles Bukowski is perfectly embodied in this drawing.
