Clowns Rock

Scary, funny, disturbing, fascinating... Since the nineteenth century, the figure of the clown has raised eyebrows. This is the first global compilation of clowns as created by contemporary artists, illustrators and designers. From Cindy Sherman to Ron English, Marion Peck to Erwin Olaf, Clowns Rock features more than 300 pages of the most impressive portraits of clowns. This book contains four chapters: The clown in the art of the 20th century, the clown in today's art, the red nose in the history of art and the strange fascination with bad clowns.
