Description

Raymond Pettibon's iconic works of surfers and waves are a quintessential volume dedicated to the motif. Characteristically enigmatic and sharply satirical, Pettibon critiques American culture while empathizing with humanity's dizzying madness. This book showcases over one hundred surfers from Pettibon's series, featuring a range of artworks from smaller monochromatic works on paper to large-scale paintings applied directly to the wall. The surfer motif is particularly poignant, depicting a lone figure carving "a line of beauty" along an impossibly large wave. Pettibon's writings on these painted surfaces explore his philosophies and critiques the hypocrisies and vanities of the world he engages with. Scholar Brian Lukacher examines art-historical antecedents in Pettibon's work, while Jamie Brisick provides insight into Southern California surf and music culture from Pettibon's youth.
