Denis Kitchen "An Oddly Compelling Mini-Retrospective"
The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art
This event has ended.
The exhibition is a survey of the work of cartoonist, publisher, author, and curator Denis Kitchen. Featured are original drawings and cartoons from Kitchen, including the hilarious intro for the Marvel Comics/underground experiment Comix Book; psychedelic works from Mondo Snarfo; autobiographical pieces; and Kitchen's cover to his first comic Mom's Homemade Comics!
Denis Kitchen was one of the pioneer underground cartoonists in the late '60s. But he "joined the dark side," becoming a publisher (Kitchen Sink Press) and reducing his drawing. A new book, The Oddly Compelling Art of Denis Kitchen (Dark Horse) shows that he still had a surprisingly productive and diverse career. This mini-retrospective showcases both underground and mainstream art from 1969 to 2005. See the remarkable brush detail that books can't adequately reproduce!
