In 1964 a young artist sat in the public gallery of the House of
Commons, sketching former Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The
Sunday Times refused to print the resulting drawing of this frail,
aged figure - so far from the public image of the man - it was too
truthful. In the sixty years since, Gerald Scarfe's work has
continued to expose the truth, and has appeared many times in the
pages of the Sunday Times, in the Evening Standard, New Yorker,
Private Eye and Time, as well as on the walls of the V&A and
the Tate, the stages of the English National Opera and the English
National Ballet, and cinema screens around the world in the form of
Pink Floyd The Wall and Disney's Hercules. In Long Drawn Out Trip,
Gerald tells his life story for the first time. With captivating,
often thrilling stories, he takes us back to his wartime childhood
and the terrible curse of asthma, through his days as an
advertising draughtsman, to his field reporting in Vietnam and the
giddy highs of rock 'n' roll. He also reveals the process of
cartooning - and the ways that certain subjects have reacted to his
visions of them. Along the way he has been car-jacked in Derry,
dined with royals, and thoroughly upset Mrs Mary Whitehouse. It is
a very personal, wickedly funny and caustically insightful account
of an artist's life at the forefront of contemporary culture and
society.
