Synopsis
"Juxtapoz Art and Culture" magazine was established by California artist Robert Williams in 1994 to document an exploding art movement emanating largely from the West Coast. In the intervening years, this movement has gone global and "Juxtapoz" has rebranded and reimagined itself to better represent a generation of artists intent on working outside the art establishment. In this first volume "Illustration", artists such as Mode 2, KozynDan, Mike Giant, James Jean, Evan Hecox, Grotesk, Alex Pardee and Morning Breath are briefly profiled then allowed the space to let their work do the talking. While all of the artists in this volume have experienced professional success and artistic accolades, they remain accessible to the commercial client and art collector alike, representing this phenomenal modern movement perfectly.

Customer Reviews

Juxtapoz Illustration, I was expecting a lot!
I'm a big fan of Juxtapoz magazine, and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in "Juxtapoz Illustration". Because the quality of the magazine is so high I was expecting that this illustration catalogue would include the best of the best. Some of my favourite illustrators are included, but with works that I have seen many many times before, and to my surprise also with works that maybe are below their average.

The book also contains some artists that -in my opinion- don't yet fit the quality standards of this kind of product. If I understood correctly, this is the first book of a Juxtapoz Illustration series. I'm going to buy the next one too, but I hope it is going to be better!!

Ay-may-zeng
I really enjoyed reading this book, it provides enough written detail about each of the artists who have been involved with Juxtapoz Magazine over the years and then the beautiful pictures fill in the rest. It contains some of my favourites too, and is a very good insight for anyone who wants to look for good artists/illustrators of different backgrounds to develop their own style. It's helped me along with mine and I'd recommend this book to anybody. That and the cover art is sex-tastic.
