Oh Yes. Oh Dear God Yes.
According to The New York Times:
[Robert] Crumb’s current project has him spending a lot of time in the past. He is illustrating the opening book of the Bible, Genesis, and spends hours in his study deep in the Crumb house consulting translations of Sumerian legends, Hebrew and Christian scholarly interpretations of the Bible and reproductions of illuminated manuscripts.
The work contains biblical scenes populated with classic R. Crumb women, their legs and ankles hearty, their breasts straining through flimsy dresses. But the work is not sexually graphic. Nor has the artist altered a word of the Genesis text.
I can’t wait to see this. I wonder if it will be appropriate as a teaching tool for children.
Apropriate for children?!?! R. Crumb? It better NOT be! Can’t wait though.
This should be interesting.
