Do you believe in the story of Noah's Ark and a global flood? "You don't have to be a Fundamentalist Christian to be interested in the Bible," said artist
R. Crumb. Raised in the 1950s,
Robert Dennis Crumb is a legendary illustrator from the world of "underground comix" who signs his work "R. Crumb." In 207 ink drawings on paper, his
“The Book of Genesis" (2009) is a sometimes wrenching and often gritty word-for-word tour of the first book of the Bible. Crumb's handling of the exit from Noah’s Ark leaves you in no doubt of his skill as one of art history's graphic masters along with
Dürer and
Rembrandt. With options this month to visit a life-sized replica of
Noah's Ark in Kentucky or to travel to Seattle, Washington for Crumb's version, we recommend visiting the
Seattle Art Museum.
