>> Crumb's Book of Genesis

Abajo, abajo, algumas imagens da adaptação do Robert Crumb do 1o livro da Bíblia, o Gênesis. Lançamento em outubro nos USA e aqui no Brasil pela editora Conrad, que anunciou que rola ainda para esse ano. Interesting. Very interesting.

E logo abajo um pedacinho de uma entrevista do Crumb com o Robert Hughes, crítico de arte da Time, em 2005, quando Crumb começou o projeto:

HUGHES: Is God going to look like Mr. Natural?

CRUMB: Nah. He has a white beard but he actually ended up looking more like my father. He has a very masculine face like my father. My problem was, how am I going to draw God? Should I just draw him as a light in the sky that has dialogue balloons coming out from it? Then I had this dream. God came to me in this dream, only for a split second, but I saw very clearly what he looked like. And I thought, ok, there it is, I've got God.

HUGHES: And what did she look like?

CRUMB: I went through that whole thing too; maybe I'll draw God as a black woman. But if you actually read the Old Testament he's just an old, cranky Jewish patriarch. It's a lot of fun doing Genesis, actually. It's very visual. It's lurid. Full of all kinds of crazy, weird things that will really surprise people.
