Robert Williams: Mr. Bitchin'

As an icon of the underground comics movement of the 1960s, Robert Williams stoked admiration for and controversy over his intense paintings involving cars, nude women, and apocalyptic surrealism. This documentary profile reveals how he rocked the art world with his "antisocial," "lowbrow" works, covering his efforts in Zap Comix, Juxtapoz magazine, and more, including the ill-fated selection of his "Appetite for Destruction" as the cover of the 1987 Guns N' Roses album. 89 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; art gallery; theatrical trailer.
