The San Jose Museum of Art will showcase the work of legendary underground comic artist R. Crumb this summer. The exhibition will feature 207 individual, black-and-white drawings from Crumb’s critically acclaimed 2009 adaptation of the first book of the Bible, which incorporates every word from all fifty chapters. Crumb, who is known for his underground comic creations Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, and other characters, spent five years on this ambitious endeavor, which has garnered praise from comic book aficionados and art lovers around the world. This exhibition is organized by the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Generous support is provided by Brenda K. Potter. The San Jose Museum of Art’s run of The Bible Illuminated is sponsored by McManis Faulkner.
