- Robt. Williams is an American painter, cartoonist, and founder of Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine. Williams was one of the group of artists who produced Zap Comix, along with other underground cartoonists, such as Robert Crumb, S. Clay Wilson, and Gilbert Shelton. His mix of California car culture, cinematic apocalypticism, and film noir helped to create a new genre of psychedelic imagery. This is a talk he gave at the Fort Wayne Art Museum, in northern Indiana.

"Of his paintings, Williams has stated, "My paintings are not designed to entertain you; they are meant to trap you, to hold you before them while you try to rationalize what elements of the picture are making you stand there."

Robert Williams changed the art world forever. He was a relentless one man wrecking ball that broke down the walls of the Fine art galleries and let in Art... ART that looked like something, looked like people, and had things to say, Sometimes very strange in your face things to say. He changed what the art world said "Art" was, and opened it up for everybody. He did the impossible. HE is an American folk hero. Like he says "HE is the Father of this new kind of cartoony feral art." He named it "Lowbrow Art". Society was starving for something to really look at in the art world. Thank you Robert Williams.
This man changed the west coast art scene into this weird place that I love and thrive in ❤
I was tremendously entertained , from the beginning sly crack about abstract impressionism being good for" lobby art" to the tremendously interesting remark about how the process of creating with oil painty can become spiritual if you take it that far. obviously he has command enough of the process to know, but previously I had only heard of acting spirituality connected to playing music. I thought it interesting to have that common connection shared in what are some of mankind's oldest art forms.
thanks this was great im been trying to learn as much art history as possible!
"This stuff if questionable." "Not for everybody." "I have to portray the pathos of the human condition." That's G.D. scary. Isn't that something? That's were we're at, at this point. Ok? What's so different about that in history? That goes for what goes on inside an artist themselves. You've got to realize what's going on inside. Do it. Seems that's where we stumble. Yes? Everybody knows that is rough. You have to stay true to it. To heck with everything else. That's hard. But, come on people, artists, do it. Screw the world. Just do your art. I think this is what Robert is saying.

Artists. Doesn't it seem the pressure is so tight to fit in? To be a part? To heck with that! Artists, love being hated. Love being weird. Love the outside. Isn't that what it's about? I think so. To heck with others. Just do your stuff so you can die contented. Is not that the job? - Job
Very coo, thanks for the share!! Where and when was this taken?
Daddy just get old. Have healthy life dad

Why not just make a cartoon if you're trying to convey a socio political standpoint? Adding a bunch of dali-esque trippy, technical exhibitionism seems detached and somewhat superfluous otherwise. But I guess Bosch may have arguably fit into this category too... LOL
An excellent technical artist by all mean but needs a good acid trip to reset his style.... Everything about it is overdone but lacks nuances of variation, pastelly color pallete. I think as a black and white drawing or sketch I'd much more enjoy it. Kitchy psuedo-surrealism.
