A career-spanning collection of the oeuvre of infamous lowbrow artist Robert Williams. A leader in the Underground Comix movement, he is one of the founding artists of Zap Comics. Williams is preeminent among a generation of imagist artists gathering inspiration from the dark comers of contemporary culture. Malicious Resplendence finally gives Williams` work the the treatment it deserves: an almost 300 page, full-color, hardcover coffee-table collection from one of the most controversial American painters of the 20th century. -- Williams provides his audience with a lucid and lyrical, violent and apocalyptic windshield to view the chaotic landscape of our culture...Enjoy the white-knuckle ride.. . -- Walter Hopps, from the introduction
