A new collection of cartoons featuring more of Baxter's Amazing People, more Great Failures of History, and more Great Culinary Disasters of Our Time
Glen Baxter je známy svojimi absurdnými kresbami, ktorých celkový dojem často pripomína literárny nonsens. Jeho diela, inšpirované brakovou fikciou a dobrodružnými komiksami, spájajú umenie a jazyk s intelektuálnymi vtipmi. Jednoduché kresby často zobrazujú postavy ako kovbojov, gangsterov alebo bádateľov, ktorí pronášajú nesúrodé vyhlásenia o umení a filozofii, čím vytvárajú jedinečný a provokatívny štýl.






A new collection of cartoons featuring more of Baxter's Amazing People, more Great Failures of History, and more Great Culinary Disasters of Our Time
Surreal and absurd pictures of cowboys, soldiers, criminals, inventors, and students are accompanied by humorously incongruous captions
Glen Baxter's art appeals to a universal sense of the ridiculous. His drawings fuse the familiar with the absurd and breathe life into verbal and visual cliches, whether literary, social or cultural. This book brings together 35 of his artworks.
Since failing to win the Nobel Prize in 2001, Glen Baxter disappeared to a remote hillside fort in Holland to continue his research on vole classification. Some ten months later, he made his way to Soho Square where he was reported to be in possession of a fustian-lined hamper containing a manuscript that was to be labelled: Trundling Grunts.
