Synopsis

The painter Robert Williams brought the term "lowbrow" into the fine arts lexicon, defining West Coast Outlaw culture into alternative art movement of the late 20th century (the first break-away art movement in California since the Eucalyptus School's estrangement from Impressionism in the late 1920s). His work, which features bold use of underground cartoon figuration, paired with harshly contrasted psychedelic colors, spans through the "Big Daddy Roth" car culture of the early '60s, the underground comics movement led by Robert Crumb in the late '60s and early '70s, punk in the late '70s, to today: it became an easily recognizable hallmark throughout the 1980s and 1990s
