Synopsis:

Since 1994, "Juxtapoz" magazine, published in San Francisco, has provided a forum for so called Lo-Brow art-work inspired by Comics, hot rods, and popular culture - and has become, in the years since, the most widely read art magazine in the United States. "Juxtapoz" provides a voice and validation for a brand of artist, like founder Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Coop, Camille Rose Garcia, Glen Barr, the Clayton Brothers, Isabel Samaras, Joe Coleman, and many, many others, who have not historically been accepted by the typical art-world infrastructure of collector, curator, and critic.However, since its founding, it has become the leverage point for the creation of its own infrastructure that supports Juxtapozian art with galleries around the world, collectors, increasing critical attention, and museum exhibitions at adventurous institutions. This exciting and provocative collection presents a group of artists who rejected traditional rules of the art establishment and created their own canon, known as the Juxtapoz School. This book is published in conjunction with the Laguna Art Museum for the 2008 exhibition - "In the Land of Retinal Delights".
