One of America's most celebrated cartoonists, Robert Crumb helped define cartoon and punk subcultures of the 1960s and 1970s with comic strips like Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, and Keep on Truckin'. The open sexuality of his work, paired with frequent self-deprecation and a free, almost stream-of-consciousness style, have made Crumb into a global voice and a renowned contemporary artist.

Light Break presents the first survey since 1996 of photographer Roy DeCarava, an essential figure of American art and culture, whose "poetry of vision" re-forms urban life, labor, love, and jazz into the discovery of "an intimate, emotional arc of transformation."Though DeCarava often refrained from public discussion of his work, this catalogue provides important background into determining factors of his aesthetic sensibility-his traditional...

A laugh-out-loud visual history of the strangest piece of men's clothing ever created: the codpiece.The codpiece was fashioned in the Middle Ages to close a revealing gap between two separate pieces of men's tights. By the sixteenth century, it had become an upscale must-have accessory. This light-hearted, illustrated examination of its history pulls in writers from Rabelais to Shakespeare and figures from Henry VIII to Alice Cooper. Glover's ...

Carol Bove (b. 1971) is known for her assemblages that combine found and made elements. Incorporating a wide range of domestic, industrial, and natural objects, her sculptures, paintings, and prints reveal the poetry of their materials. As the art historian Johanna Burton notes, ¿Bove brings things together not to nudge associative impulses into free play driven by the unconscious, but rather to conjure a kind of affective tangle that disrupts...

Through a series of expressive ink washes, Dumas paints new passion into the poem-bodies bleed into one another, lips...

Oscar Murillo ¿s large-scale paintings imply action, performance, and chaos, but are in fact methodically composed of rough-hewn, stitched canvases that often incorporate fragments of text as well as studio debris such as dirt and dust. His paintings, video works, and actions are tied to a notion of community stemming from the artist¿s cross- cultural ties to diverse cities and places in which he travels and works, and Colombia, where he was b...

Diaries and journals have a long, complex history within visual culture. Sherrie Levine continues the tradition by making the private public. Inspired by Witold Gombrowicz's Diary and its famed opening line, "Monday. Me. Tuesday. Me. Wednesday. Me. Thursday. Me., " Levine prints the word "ME." on each calendar page in Diary 2019 . Levine's diary is a playful riff on autobiography amidst our narcissistic culture.

The quest for discovery through looking is the driving force of Bridget Riley's work, as she has written: "More than anything else I want my paintings to exist on their own terms. That is to say they must stealthily engage and disarm you. There the paintings hang, deceptively simple-telling no tales as it were-resisting, in a well-behaved way, all attempts to be questioned, probed or stared at and then, for those with open eyes, serenely discl...
