Raymond Pettibon
American, born 1957
1988
An artist's book of lithographic prints in which Raymond Pettibon combines raw, comic-like drawing and handwritten captions to stage unsettling, ironic tableaux that probe American myths and private despair.
A stark black-and-white lithograph meets you: a long-haired, almost naked man in a cloak holds a dripping heart aloft while a speech bubble — “I love you, Mom, I know it’s too late to say I’m sorry…” — collapses tenderness into a grotesque ritual against a spare, wintry landscape.
Emerging from the punk-zine world, Pettibon’s illustrated books translated underground graphic language into the museum sphere, showing how terse text-image pairings can critique national narratives and expand narrative possibilities in contemporary art.
