Celebrating a wide range of punk design in vinyl cover art,
posters, flyers, fanzines, and other ephemera, The Art of Punk
highlights the movement primarily within graphic design and print,
while also considering its impact on wider popular culture. Punk
was based on immediacy-an often-inspired amateurism and
underground, close-knit communities that burned brightly but were
not intended to extend beyond the gig, the event, the scene, the
moment. Punk songs by such legendary bands as the Sex Pistols, the
Ramones, the Damned, the New York Dolls, the Germs, and the Clash
tended to be short, fast, and aggressive, and the oft-repeated
credo "If it can't be said in three minutes, it's not worth saying"
was adopted as standard practice, extending in turn to an entire
ethos for the whole subculture. The book is arranged
chronologically, and by genre, and features more than 900 visual
examples both by uncredited artists and internationally renowned
designers and design groups, alongside interviews with, and
commentary by, many of the artists concerned.
