Description
Gene Bilbrew Revealed presents a vibrant overview of the life and work of the first black career fetish artist in history, Gene Bilbrew, also known as "Eneg". This book showcases hundreds of rare and extraordinary images from his influential 24-year career, redefining cutting-edge art of the 1950s and '60s.
Tracing Bilbrew's life from his childhood in Los Angeles to his rise as a "bizarre art" rebel in New York City, the book explores his work for renegade publishers and his sometimes contentious relationship with fellow art pioneer Eric Stanton. A must-have visual experience for underground comic art fans, pulp art collectors, and enthusiasts of outsider art, Gene Bilbrew Revealed is a unique and fascinating insight into a pivotal moment in art history.
