Robert Williams (4) (1943–)

I don't know enough about art to properly classify the artwork of Robert Williams, but as they say, I know what I like. His paintings tend to have a pop culture feel to them, and the imagery borders on surreal and psychedelic, the latter of which is probably why the introduction to the book was written by Timothy Leary. Williams' art is typically crowded with an eye-bending amount of imagery, and Williams takes the uncommon approach of taking the time to explain the images and visual representations of each of the sixty oil paintings inside, even going as far to include close-ups and sketches of specific sections under examination. With his art being such a wild trip, it is special treat to have him tag along as the tour guide for this collection.
