We looked at the work of Raymond Pettibon in our lecture today, he was a very prolific artist and liked to almost act like a machine churning out work so that the 'artness' of his work was lost, as he was very interested in industry etc.
I really enjoy the humour and the roughness in his work.
Yet again text and image crop up! Captions very much embellish the humour of Pettibon's drawings, often the text is essential for us to understand what the drawing shows.
