About

Pettibon, Raymond: Raymond Pettibon is recognized as one of America's most important representational artists. Emerging on the international art scene in the 1980s, Pettibon is best known for his extraordinary output of ink wash drawings and their signature combination of figurative images and short, enigmatic texts. He first began making these in the late 1970s to adorn album covers of underground music groups such as Black Flag and Sonic Youth. The subject matter of Pettibon's drawings is culled from the printed pages of American popular and underground culture. Some of his recurring interests include baseball, surfers, film noir and literature. (<a href="http://www.soundnet.org/sound/mak/2003/augustsb.shtml">Soundnet</a>)
