This book looks at Paul McCarthy's drawings, a rarely examined aspect of his oeuvre, and offers a greater understanding of the work of this provocative artist.A prolific social critic, Paul McCarthy is best known for his work in performance, installation, film, and sculpture. His drawings and films skewer, often profanely, mass media and consumer-driven American society by pointing to its hypocrisy, double standards, and repression. His works reference American cultural archetypes such as Disneyland, B movies, soap operas, comic books, and contemporary politics.
McCarthy's drawings share the same visual language as his three-dimensional works: violence, humor, sex, politics, art history, and popular culture. Featuring McCarthy's work is also deeply influenced by European avant-garde art, especially by figures such as Joseph Beuys and Samuel Beckett, and Viennese Actionism.
