	Robert Williams
		Though known today as one of the world's most iconoclastic fine artists, Williams was also, of course, first and foremost a cartoonist.
		As a member of the legendary ZAP collective, along with R. Crumb, Williams eventually transcended the world of comics by cultivating his mastery of oil paints and forging a career as the preeminent artist among a generation of imagist painters gathering inspiration from the shadowed corners of contemporary culture.
		Williams singlehandedly became the model of the "Outsider" art movement, influencing a generation of artists to create without concern for the fine art world, held in contempt by Williams.

		To Williams, the no-holds-barred creative freedom of Zap was an expression of social dissent as important to him as dodging the Vietnam draft; and indeed, as if to prove the point, the magazine's publisher and various of its distributors were harassed by the FBI, and the artist began to receive hate mail from right-wing types.
		At first sight, Williams' paintings may shock, titillate, or disgust as readily as bloody bodies and mangled metal, but they differ from the spectacle of auto fatalities insofar as they are not senseless.
		Williams distributes key narrative moments across the surface of the painting: in an inset panel, a boy gets a scolding from his father for reading a comic; in the central image, thuglike police rush onstage as the boy's head explodes, leaving Mr.

		At which point, the artist sighs and puts down his non-alcoholic beer ("I don’t drink anymore, can’t function like I used to") and fetches a copy of his fourth book, "Through Prehensile Eyes, The Art Of Robert Williams," which is the actual reason for our tete a tete.
		Williams’ book and his first L.A. show of the decade opens at the Ben Maltz Gallery at L.A.’s Otis College of Art + Design May 21st, as well as a master class (already sold out) that Williams will be teaching in painting this summer, also at Otis.
		Williams’ essence and the root of his work, however, is not unlike the highly disciplined, carefully conceived and executed pop-rock travesties of the Ramones or Jesus and Mary Chain.

	Robert Williams' Car-Crashes on Canvas
		Most artists would be more than happy just to reach the acme of a Mona Lisa once in their lifetime, but Williams appears to have set himself no less a goal in his art than surpassing the effect of a hundred Giacondas.
		Williams distributes key moments of narrative across the surface of the painting: in an inset image, a boy is scolded by his father for reading a comic; in the central image, thug-like police rush onto the scene as the boy's head explodes, leaving "MR.
		Williams himself likes to say, "If it commands attention it's culture, if it matches the couch it's art." Unless you happen to have a blood-spattered couch riddled with whoopie cushions, stained with Mexican food, and covered with buxom babes, then Williams' paintings are definitely not art.

		Williams was framed by the US intelligence services through an article in the New York Times which sought to portray him as being against the Cuban Revolution.

		Drummer/singer/composer Williams has played with some real heavyweights in his low-profile career: several years as a member of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band, tours with Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, an LP with Hugh Cornwell.
		Musically, Williams has absorbed a lot of different styles and spews them back with alarming variety and an overriding sense of fun.
		The four-song EP is a bit closer to Beefheart with Zappaesque lyrics; the album expands the musical scope and succeeds more in terms of accessible smart-aleck rock.
