Summary: One of the best art books of the decade!
Review: Critics agree: MALICIOUS RESPLENDENCE is a must-have for fans of 20th Century outsider and imagist art:"MR is an art book nicer than many of those devoted to Picasso, Monet, or Van Gogh... A beautifully constructed collection." - BIKINI "MR is a stunning, 300-page retrospective that, if thrown heartily, could brain a horse." - NEW TIMES LOS ANGELES "Williams is Norman Rockwell's evil twin." - NEW YORK TIMES "At first, Williams' paintings may shock, titillate or disgust as readily as bloody bodies or mangled metal. But, they differ from the spectacle of auto fatalities insofar as they are not senseless. Informed commentaries lurk beneath their apocalyptic veneer." - ART FORUM "This deluxe edition of Williams' 40 years of work is an arresting and influential body of paintings whose best qualities - their craftsmanship - can only be seen live, or in this exquisitely produced volume." - THE STRANGER (SEATTLE) "Williams knows he'll never be America's best-loved artist. That's just more grist for the mill. He's an art hero, that's the truth." - R. CRUMB "An absolute Godhead in his field... and father figure to a movement, Williams is poised on the precipice of fine-art acceptance. He is one of the few artists of the century to start at the bottom (vox populi) and rise to the top (museum show elite)." - AXCESS MAGAZINE

Summary: America's greatest living painter.
Review: I have been a follower of Robert Williams' work for about 8 years. I own all but one of his previous books and was under the assumption that "Malicious Resplendence" was a collection of new work only. Thankfully I was wrong, and completely blown away. Not only does this huge beautifly hard back show his most recent paintings, the book is actually a collection of his entire history of art. Robt.Wms is truly a master painter in the classic sense, a painter of our century who can actually stand up to the vision and draftsmanship of the greatest painters of history

Summary: Retinal Delights
Review: Immerse yourself in this mind-bending collection of original art. A full compliment of drawings, sketches, comic book covers and paintings round out this look at the career (still going strong) of Robert Williams. The paintings are lavishly reproduced on high-quality paper stock and the over-sized dimensions of this book are perfectly suited to appreciate the artist's awe-inspiring technique. A MUST for any fan of underground art, culture and surrealism!
