Paul McCarthy is not well known for his drawings, yet they are an integral part of his artistic process - indeed, an integral part of his finished works themselves. Even though these shouldn't be considered (or dismissed as) rough sketches for his installations and sculptures, the two approaches are related. These works are a living part of the Artist's oeuvre, completing the raw world-view put forth by his large-scale pieces, which are presented in the book along with hundreds of his drawings. Whatever the medium, McCarthy is constantly striving to re-interpret the ordinary - from furniture to celebrities and fictional icons - in order to jolt us out of conventional thinking, where the familiar becomes invisible to us and we continue down a path of indulgence and consumption, perhaps more willfully than we would prefer to believe.
