Pressestimmen
What gives this book an unexpected human warmth and candour in the disarmingly direct commentary by the artist about his public life and intimate thoughts. In words, as in his imagery, he freely exposes his most vulnerable, private parts, while at the same time readily baring his slavering fangs in the face of social injustice, fat-cat folly and political hypocrisy. METRO LONDON Arranged by year, this is impresively completist... He also proves again and again that he should be regarded as one of the foremost commentators on the misery of our special friendship with America. Indispensible. THE LIST Hugely entertaining SUNDAY TIMES Books of the Year
Kurzbeschreibung
This is a truly exceptional collection of drawings from one of our most revered cultural commentators. Gerald Scarfe began his career in the 60s working for PUNCH and PRIVATE EYE before taking a job as a political cartoonist for the DAILY MAIL. He then worked for TIME Magazine in New York before starting his long association with the SUNDAY TIMES that still exists today in the form of his weekly drawings. His varied career has seen him work with Pink Floyd (The Wall, Wish You Were Here), Roger Waters and Eric Clapton (The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking), Disney (Hercules), English National Ballet (The Nutcracker), Los Angeles Opera (Fantastic Mr Fox) as well as produce such iconic images as those for the titles of Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. His work has featured in the New Yorker and various BBC TV films such as Scarfe on Sex and Scarfe on Class. Exhibitions of his paintings and drawings have appeared in the Tate Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. He is viewed by many as both a national treasure and a genius and this is the first collection of his work to appear for 20 years.

Alot more than what I paid for

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
For the book I received, I would expect to pay 3 times the amount that I paid for
this book.Not only a complete biography of the artist, but also a gallery of all
of his illustrations.I would recommend this to anyone who would like to learn more
about the man beyond the Pink Floyd years. I did!

Masterpiece
18. April 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book because I am a huge fan of Mr. Scarfe's work on Pink Floyd's The Wall. However, I had no idea how large his catalog was outside of the Floyd projects. Not only is this book awesome to flip through pages just looking at the art, but it is also a great read. It offers an autobiography about his young life as a child and budding artist, and also provides history and context to many of the featured pieces. I definitely recommend this book to anyone that enjoys his Pink Floyd work, and also to anyone who has got a taste for dark art.
I do feel it is necessary to state this some of Scarfe's art is very vulgar, whilst it is all used in a literary manner -- to caricature certain figures or tell stories, some people may find his art offensive. I will state, though, not once does Mr. Scarfe attack or deface any cultures or creeds of people. He only uses vulgarity to state his opinion on certain matters such as political leaders or government policies.
I hope that all other buyers enjoy this book as much as I do.

Excellent buy
11. März 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a comprehensive volume of Scarfe's work which is well produced and a very good read.The colour plates are informative and as an overall survey this is an excellent introduction to what he is on about which is often to not take prisoners.Hold back on lampooning politicians he does not and it's clear why he has had such a long and notable career in satirical cartooning. His book on his contribution to Pink Floyd's The Wall also makes a good companion piece.Both highly recommended.
