Cute & Creepy revels in the genre of the macabre in contemporary art, celebrating dark art and Pop Surrealists. To see the beauty in the carnivalesque or macabre, in freaks and in monsters, is a matter of aesthetics. It is for a daraing audience, an audience open to exploring the strange beauty and the ecstasy inherent in our culture's aversions.
"An impressive and valuable catalog. . . . you can't resist gawking . . . Lush descriptions and scholarly references bring validity to an art style that in the past has been criticized as being kitschy or lowbrow."
