Biography
Maxon Crumb was born in 1945 to Charles and Beatrice Crumb.[2]
His early work can be found in publications such as Weirdo, Liquidator,[3] Maxon's Poe (1997), and Crumb Family Comics (Last Gasp, 1998).[4]
His first published novel, HardCore Mother (2000) was a study of incest and sadism.[5] After its publication in 2001,[5] his work found a wider audience.[6]
Maxon Crumb was featured in the documentary Crumb,[7] about his brother Robert.
Art practice
Maxon Crumb initially started painting as a way to deal with his own personal demons. He has subsequently managed to earn money from his art.[8]
His paintings and ink drawings can take weeks or months to complete. During this time, Maxon says that he will enter into an intense creative state where the work becomes paramount, to the detriment of normal everyday concerns, including eating.[8]
Maxon Crumb's drawings are available online[6] as well as fine art limited-edition prints.[9]
Personal life
In addition to his brothers Charles and Robert, Maxon also had two sisters, Carol DeGennaro (1941–2020)[10][2] and Sandra Colorado (1946–1998),[8] the widow of writer Marty Pahls, a friend of Robert Crumb.[2]
Maxon practices celibacy and has done so for many years because, as he has explained in interviews, for him, sex triggers epileptic seizures.[8] In the 1994 documentary Crumb, Maxon Crumb admitted to a history of sexually assaulting women.[11][12]
