R. Crumb - Orignal Art - Character Montage - Tough Guys to Clods - Rare Piece!

Robert Crumb Mr. Fine! and Other Characters Montage of Miniature Sketches Original Art (c. 1960s). Unusual to find Underground Comix pioneer Crumb working in Speedball mode.  This unique random composition is executed entirely in the rounded Speedball pen-point, which produces a thick line of unvaried weight (Crumb prefers the crow-quill point, which offers a suppler ink-line). The miniature faces and figures here represent various personalities, from tough guys to clods and dandies, to the pimpy looking gangster-types at lower right.  Brilliant spontaneity, with no sign of under pencilling. Ink on watercolor stock. The dimensions are 8" x 10". Excellent condition.  Own a piece of Underground Art History!
