"Cary Levine focuses on Kelley's, McCarthy's, and Pettibon's work from the 1970s through
the 1990s, plotting the circuitous routes they took in their artistic development.
Drawing on extensive interviews with each artist, he identifies the diverse forces
that had a crucial bearing on their development--such as McCarthy's experiences at
the University of Utah, Kelley's interest in the Detroit-based White Panther movement,
Pettibon's study of economics, and how all three participated in burgeoning subcultural
music scenes. Levine discovers a common political strategy underlying their art that
critiques both nostalgia for the 1960s counterculture and Reagan-era conservatism.
He shows how this strategy led each artist to create strange and unseemly images that
test the limits of not only art but also gender roles, sex, acceptable behavior, poor
taste, and even the gag reflex that separates pleasure from disgust. As a result,
their work places viewers in uncomfortable situations that challenge them to reassess
their own values."--Publisher's description
