Robert Crumb. Sketchbooks 1982-2011 - Reviews
| "The underground comic and gifted dirty old man handpicks his finest unsavory doodles."— The Huffington Post, New York, United States |
| «Recopila centenas de dibujos, bocetos y apuntes no publicados hasta ahora por Robert Crumb. Es una edición que cautivará a los coleccionistas y que también sirve para ver de cerca la evolución personal y artística de Crumb quien tan a menudo se coloca él mismo y sus angustias…»— La Vanguardia, Barcelona, |
| "Charting Crumbs artistic progress over the past 30 years, the weightily tomes contain many notebook highlights. You’ll find everything from unseen doodles depicting punters at cafes to sprawling cartoons strips and uncharacteristically orthodox still-life drawings."— Shortlist, London, United Kingdom |
| "In the last 20 years Crumb’s artistic output has slowed considerably, making new works more rare and highly prized... this collection of over 600 unseen drawings created between 1982 and 2011 makes this a must-have collectible for every Crumb fan."— Blog.fuctart.gr, Greece |
| „Der Mann, der uns Fritz the Cat geschenkt hat, wird beim Kölner TASCHEN-Verlag mit einer ultimativen Sammlerausgabe seiner Sketche, Skizzen und Kurzcomics gewürdigt.”— www.comic-report.de, Barmstedt, Germany |
| «La editorial TASCHEN nos ha alegrado el día anunciando la publicación de una nueva obra de Robert Crumb, aunque en el fondo no se pueda decir que sea realmente nueva. Es una edición a todo lujo de sus cuadernos de bocetos, pero editados nuevamente por Dian Hanson con la ayuda del propio Crumb. La edición consiste en una selección de lo mejor de sus primeros 6 libros de bocetos más la inclusión de cientos de dibujos nuevos que no han sido publicados antes.»— Blogdecomics.com, Spain |
| "Robert Crumb dice che disegnare è stato per anni - semplicemente - la sua identità: ora, a 69 anni, sostiene di aver smesso, di essersi disintossicato dal disegno compulsivo. "Ho altro pesce da friggere, altre cose a cui dedicare il mio tempo". Non avremo tempo noialtri, invece, per dispiacerci di questa scelta: tanto di quel materiale è rimasto inedito, che ci godremo Crumb per altri trent'anni almeno. Dentro il mastodontico cofanetto mandato in stampa da TASCHEN (tiratura limitata a mille copie e prezzo conseguente) ci sono centinaia di illustrazioni prodotte tra il 1982 e ieri, selezionate personalmente dall'autore. È solo la metà di un progetto di recupero che ci dovrebbe riportare indietro fino agli inediti del 1964."— Linus, Milano, Italy |
| "Fans of R. Crumb have received a well curated product in the new six-book 1,3000 page box set collecting Robert Crumb sketch art created during the second half of the artists career... Robert Crumb: The Sketchbooks: 1981–2012 looks to be a response to fans demanding new material... included are more than 600 unseen drawings from the artists collection... this best-of edition was personally edited by Robert Crumb himself."— Fashionmodren.com, |
| "Cartoonist, artist, writer and musician Robert Crumb, who is the author of numerous comic works, has released a six-book boxed set, published by TASCHEN Books and edited by Dian Hanson, titled R. Crumb: Sketchbooks 1982-2011... it will include 1,344 pages of his original drawings from the second half of his career, including 600 never-before-seen drawings... all artwork was hand-picked by Crumb from his notebooks to showcase his best work."— Laughingsquid.com, United States |
| „Benedikt Taschen war in den frühen achtziger Jahren als junger Mann einer der Pioniere des deutschen Comic-Handels. Diese Faszination ist noch heute spürbar in seinem neuesten Projekt... Man erhält vor allem eine Augenweide, ein Kompendium der Zeichenkunst. Zugleich steckt sein ganzes Leben in den insgesamt 2700 Seiten, die TASCHEN zusammen tragen wird.”— Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Frankfurt am Main, Germany |
