Todd Schorr @ San Jose Museum of Art details…

Todd Schorr: American Surreal is the first mid-career retrospective of the Los Angeles-based artist. Schorr is a leading figure in Southern California’s cartoon-based movement, which embraces low-brow culture and a ribald graphic style indebted to pop sources such as Mad magazine. Schorr’s astonishing, highly polished realism, (inspired by Bosch, Brueghel and Dali), sets him apart from his best-known peers such as Camille Rose Garcia, Gary Baseman, and Mark Ryden. The exhibition, curated by SJMA’s Senior Scholar and Curator of Collections Susan Landauer, will be accompanied by a new book published by Last Gasp, San Francisco.
The show opens this weekend, but the real event is coming up next month, so plan now to head up to San Jose on Thursday, July 16th. Add’l details to follow soon – but there will be a book signing for Todd’s new book, a panel discussion, live music, Ed Hardy Vodka will be flowing and much more… can’t wait!

‘The World We Live In’
Opening Reception: Sat, March 28th 8-11PM
170 South La Brea Ave. in Los Angeles / 323.933.4408
Schorr’s astonishing, highly polished realism, (inspired by Bosch, Brueghel and Dali), sets him apart from his best-known peers such as Camille Rose Garcia, Gary Baseman, and Mark Ryden. This is his first solo show in many years, and we couldn’t be more amped to see the new works in person this Saturday.
Check out a great interview that Arrested Motion did with Schorr here.
The good folks over at Arrested Motion and Modus Films also just posted a great lil’ teaser video. Check it out below.

If that wasn’t enough, mark your calendars now… we first posted this months ago, but here’s a reminder to make plans now to head north to San Jose for Schorr’s big 25-year retrospective exhibit that will open on June 27th at the San Jose Museum Of Art. His new book, American Surreal, will be released in conjunction with his retrospective in San Jose. More on both as we get closer…
Whatever you do, do not miss this show!!!
