Gary Baseman<br />
After Mono Taxali, Mono Baseman is the third title in the<br />
Mono series, featuring the up-and-coming international<br />
generation of contemporary artists and illustrators. This<br />
is the first authoritative monograph on Gary Baseman,<br />
founder of the artistic movement called lowbrow. Born<br />
in 1960 in Los Angeles to Holocaust survivors from<br />
Ukraine, he studied communication at UCLA. From 1986<br />
to 1996, Baseman worked as an illustrator in New York. His<br />
drawings were published in The New Yorker, Time, The<br />
New York Times and The Los Angeles Times. In 1999 he<br />
made the transition to fine art with his show "Dumb Luck<br />
and Other Paintings About Lack of Control". Baseman<br />
is now a prominent figure in Los Angeles art scene. He<br />
coined the term “pervasive art” as an alternative to<br />
“lowbrow art”, and his work tends to blur the line between<br />
fine art and commercial art. He has also worked in<br />
figurines, toys, fashion and cartoons, notably the Disney<br />
animated series Teacher’s Pet.<br />
