![]() ![]() Buzz had a subscription to National Geographic and would eventually become president of the local Sierra club. The family went on regular camping trips. Alan Kuper (known as ‘Buzz’) liked to take walks in the woods. Peter’s father was a scientist, but not the kind who is lost in abstract thought. The family had a subscription to the New Yorker. His older sisters were a dancer and a photographer. One of Peter’s uncles was an illustrator and his work decorated the walls. The house was full of clay sculpture along with Native American textiles, block prints, plants and nature photographs. She had a desk job at the Cleveland Orchestra and was an amateur potter. His mom, Ginger Kuper, was a very artsy lady. Peter Kuper grew up in a very unusual 1970’s suburban household. So here is what I have learned through knowing Peter Kuper that I think is relevant to a discussion of this book. Rather, art is about the insights we gain through subjective experience. But I have never believed that art has much to do with objectivity. Having known Peter since first grade, it could be argued that I am not objective enough to write a review of anything he produces. Peter Kuper’s new graphic novel, ‘Ruins’, is a breakthrough, even though this veteran cartoonist has been publishing books since 1980, producing more titles than I can count. ![]()
