Book Description

April 15, 2007
A monograph of Anthony Ausgang's artwork from 1980 through 2006, a mind-altering high-octane visual joy ride through the artist’s oeuvre. Starting with his early Kustom Kulture work on classic hot rods and ending with his current psychedelic Lowbrow paintings, this lavishly illustrated book includes essays by pop culture pundits Carlo McCormick and Chris Pfouts. Divided into three sections, the book first covers his paintings which comment on the human condition with animal cartoon characters in semi-realistic environments. The second section showcases his paintings of and on cars. The third part chronicles his fabled Improved Art series with insouciant characters paintied on thrift and antique store art. This is the first book devoted exclusively to his work.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is only suitable for us children over the age of 18. Pussies rule the world !, October 23, 2010
This review is from: Vacation from Reality: The Art of Anthony Ausgang (Paperback)
I am not writing a review just because AAs artwork adorns "Congratulations"
the album by the most successful band in their 20s, MGMT.

I am not writing a review just because page 108 of the book has my initials on the boatmast.

I am writing a review because AAs depictions of Jesus' stigmata hit close to home. Which is a scary implication.
But AA is infectuous; just a few days after acquiring said book I am now adopting a cat.
She will be named stiLeto, and I am sure AA can relate, especially with the sexy felines in high heels.
Maybe one day they will all have a playdate - my stiLeto and his 5 kitties. Lucy and Fred and Ingrid and I forget the other two's names...
