Gerald Scarfe, Britain's most controversial satirical artist, is
famous for having worked with a broad and eclectic mix of British
and American icons, including Pink Floyd and Disney. But he is
perhaps best known for his political cartoons, which have appeared
in numerous newspapers and magazines, notably in the Sunday Times.
Published to coincide with a major exhibition of the original
artworks in the Houses of Parliament, this new book brings together
fifty years of Scarfe's political drawings in a brilliantly
entertaining journey through the history of our nation's leaders,
from Churchill's last visit to the House of Commons in 1965 to the
Thatcher years to Tony Blair's legacy and Gordon Brown's succession
in 2007. With razor-sharp wit and exuberant energy, Scarfe's
drawings lampoon our leaders' political ambitions, scandals and
disasters in inimitable style.
