Exploring an unjustly overlooked figure in 20th-century British
visual culture This book offers a comprehensive overview to the
work and legacy of David King (1943-2016), whose fascinating career
bridged journalism, graphic design, photography, and collecting.
King launched his career at Britain's Sunday Times Magazine in the
1960s, starting as a designer and later branching out into
image-led journalism. He developed a particular interest in
revolutionary Russia and began amassing a collection of graphic art
and photographs-ultimately accumulating around 250,000 images that
he shared with news outlets. Throughout his life, King blended
political activism with his graphic design work, creating
anti-Apartheid and anti-Nazi posters, covers for books on Communist
history, album artwork for The Who and Jimi Hendrix, catalogues on
Russian art and society for the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, and
typographic covers for the left-wing magazine City Limits. This
well-researched and finely illustrated publication ties together
King's accomplishments as a visual historian, artist, journalist,
and activist.
