Hardback, colour and black and white illustrations, 142 pages, W195mm x H285mm

Funny Cuts takes Pop Art's revolutionary referencing of comics as its point of departure and concludes with the most current trends in contemporary art, reflecting in diverse ways its dialogue with the commercial and trivial picture worlds of comics and cartoons.

 

Pop Art artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein were ground-breaking in their provocative confrontation with high and low art using motifs and references from popular comics. In the 1970s, American comics dealt with taboo subjects like sexuality and violence - here, for the first time, the subversive potential and the psychological content of comic worlds were used creatively in fine art.

 

Numerous images are presented from roughly 100 artists, visually demonstrating the various ways in which comics have become a form of high art.
