Knowledge Comes With Gas ReleaseGary Baseman is one of the head exponents of the underground artistic movement in Los Angeles, and coined the phrase, "Pervasive Art." His work melds the frontier between the toy culture and contemporary art with his potent and iconic images, and is filled with dark humour, infantile and adult. His art is surrealist, innocent, lascivious and fun. This book is a sample of Baseman's latest series of paintings, "Knowledge Comes With Gas Release." He sez:
