Crass Art and Other Pre Post-Modernist Monsters

Rating:
Summary: Very affecting...
Review: The work in this book has a great deal of artistic clarity and uncompromising political awareness. In many of the works, recognizable images of the contemporary savagery foisted on people by institutions are placed in the immediate vicinity of the icons of comfort and complacency that define our lives as consumers and tools of the power-mad. The collages are filled with visual information yet immediate and affecting. Gee Vaucher creates a stunning balance of craft and outrage that left me feeling depressed and guilty.
