Resumo* This essay was written during the spring of 2008 on the occasion of an exhibition of drawings by Raymond Pettibon made at the height of the Iraq war. (It will be published in a forthcoming catalogue of the artist’s work published by Steidl). I am grateful to David Zwirner for granting me permission to publish the text and to his staff for their exceptionally generous assistance in the research and preparation of the essay, in particular Julia Joern, Jessica Witkin, and Elizabeth DeMase. 1. Raymond Pettibon, “Conversation with Steven Cerio,” in Seconds, no. 34 (Fall, 1995), p. 49. 2. Charles Baudelaire, Constantin Guys: Le Peintre de la vie moderne, ed. Gustave Geffroy (Paris: Editions Nilsson, 1925), p. 23. 3. Conversation with the author, May 2008. I think it’s an expression of love—that’s what is behind it for me. Anything less is not worth all the years of twenty-four hour days three hundred sixtyfive days a year. Nothing else would compensate for that.
