Raymond Pettibon and Robert Crumb
The artists
that I chose for this section, Raymond Pettibon and Robert Crumb, have very
similar drawing styles. Their main medium is ink and have a very graphic style
of drawing. Raymond Pettibon’s work tends to have an element of social
commentary to it, with many of his pieces including text along with a drawing. His
images are very strong compositionally. He manages to fill up a space and make
an image complete without having to actually completely fill up the page. In
the first image that I included, from 1987, the drawing is both simple and
complex. The amount of detail in the outline of the woman and the man in the
doorway gives you a clear picture of what you are looking at even though the drawing
itself is very simple.
