Inhaltsangabe

Overspray is the comprehensive account of the rise of airbrush art, and of the equally bright and glossy Los Angeles culture in which it flourished during the 1970s. Inspired by surf graphics, psychedelia and the slick shine of Hollywood glitz, a generation of young artists began to make every lip and palm tree glisten, and every record cover slick as a well-lubricated sex toy. Fueled by a combination of intense demand, sleepless nights and brutal competition, the four men at the center of LA's airbrush art market - Dave Willardson, Charles E. White III, Peter Palombi, and Peter Lloyd - embarked on careers that produced iconic work for Playboy, Levi's, the Rolling Stones, and Rod Stewart, along with major studio films such as American Graffiti and Tron. Together, their work would define illustrative graphics for a generation of viewers. This book tells the unvarnished story of these four artists, for the first time, through images of the artists' best and best-known work, and in-depth interviews. Viewed now, their surreal, funny and superslick imagery seems all the more fantastic - which combined technical precision, and wild flights of imagination evoking great contemporary artists from Jeff Koons to Takashi Murakami, today seems more fatalistic than ever.
