Manfred Deix was an Austrian artist. The masterful ugliness of his pictures is unrivalled. Specialized in the depiction of not just the physical but also the mental, social and political ugliness of his surroundings, he captured austrian society in a unique way. Usually he targeted his fellow Austrians, politicians, the catholic church, conservatives and neo-nazis. Sometimes he also just did funny stuff though, like weird Donald Duck or Asterix & Obelix interpretations.

Really? Interesting! If have never seen them.
That was a nice read. I had no clue that he named R. Crumb as his main influence but it makes perfect sense because Crumb is also a master of ugliness.
