Art & Beauty #1 is back in print after five years, and in a new format chosen by Crumb! Featuring 35 portraits of Crumb's ideal feminine forms, each accompanied with annotations regarding that woman's beauty. A manifesto of sorts, Art & Beauty is preoccupied with the same figures that have been at the root of Crumb's id-reflective art from the start, but presents each with rare tenderness and thoughtfulness. Crumb's artwork has never looked better, and there is little doubt that he had as much fun writing and drawing this book as you will have reading it. Originally published by Kitchen Sink Press in 1996, Art & Beauty #1 has been re-formatted to standard comic book size and re-shot from the original art to Crumb's specifications, improving on the original, for this Fantagraphics edition. 36 pages. Black and white. Two-color covers.
