Robert Crumb - Original Sketches, Disaster (1960s)
Robert Crumb - Original Sketches, Disaster (1960s). Robert Crumb was born on August 30, 1943, possibly the bloodiest year in modern history. This knowledge may have weighed on his mind when drawing this page with a hellish concentration camp scene, Hitler, Japanese and German soldiers, a dead bunny, and a Fritz-like soldier cat facing an oncoming tank. Note that Crumb's personification of the USA is represented as an affluent Capitalist. The opposite side of this sketch book page has a wonderful composition of surreal architecture with a very lonely atmosphere, conveying feelings of alienation, but also a delicate beauty. This page measures 8.5" x 6.5" and is in excellent condition; both sides of this page are truly amazing. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
