I enjoyed Fritz Costa’s “The Lives of Lowbrow Artists.” It’s an overview of some of the overlooked artists that talks about a movement I hadn’t heard of in a way that made me care. Fritz Costa traces the lives of five artists involved in the Pop Surreal art movement.
The stories are deeply entertaining, though they can be overly wordy.
My one critique with this book is that it contains no art — not even illustrations on the chapter pages. With such a startling cover, I thought the pages would be filled with art. At the very least Costa should have included pictures of the art the artists have created, rather than painstakingly writing about what their art looks like.
