The current exhibit at the Frye Art Museum is a must-see for all comic lovers! Entitled R. Crumb’s Undergorund, the show pays tribute to R. Crumb, a pioneer in the world of underground comics.
As comic lovers may already know, R. Crumb is responsible for bringing comics into an adult literary form, with the founding of Zap Comix and his willingness to tackle controversial American topics that lurk underneath a shiny exterior. His characters, mainly based on American archetypes, “testify to the complexities of the human condition and to the spiritual and social searches we all undertake.”
This exhibit is the most comprehensive American exhibition of R. Crumb’s work to ever be displayed, so it’s certainly something to check out!
