Raymond Pettibon’s artist’s books, like “Here’s Your Irony Back” and “A Reader,” explore the intersection of image and text, drawing on a wide range of influences including pop culture, literature, and alternative youth culture. These books, often presented as collections of drawings and writings, reflect Pettibon’s unique style, which combines cartoon illustration with personal and critical commentary.<\/p>\n
\u201cRaymond Pettibon\u2019s work embraces a wide spectrum of American \u201chigh\u201d and \u201clow\u201d culture, from the deviations of marginal youth to art history, literature, sports, religion, politics, and sexuality. Rich in detail, his obsessively worked drawings take, as their point of departure, the Southern California punk-rock culture of the late 1970s and 1980s and the do-it-yourself aesthetic of album covers, comics, concert flyers, and fanzines that characterized the movement\u2014but they have come to occupy their own genre of potent and dynamic artistic commentary.\u201d
