"Wes Lang's (b. 1972) first monograph gathers a decade's worth of his work: complex orchestrations of his typically American iconography, expertly rendered in ink and paint and juxtaposed in riotous combinations. These images range from the artist's covers for a 2012 Grateful Dead box set chronically their epic Spring 1990 tour (fullfilling a teenage dream of Lang's) to precise classical drawing reminiscent of a nineteenth-century illustrator, in a dizzying mix of American history, biker culture, tatto iconography, ornament, Native American art, pinups, newspaper headlines, and Taoist texts."--Jacket.
