Signed by the author on the second (illustrated) fep. Minor endpaper soiling. This is an autobiography in pictures. Gerald Anthony Scarfe CBE RDI (born 1 June 1936) is an English cartoonist and illustrator. He has worked as editorial cartoonist for The Sunday Times and illustrator for The New Yorker. His other work includes graphics for rock group Pink Floyd, particularly on their 1979 album The Wall, its 1982 film adaptation, and tour (1980-81), as well as the music video for "Welcome to the Machine". Scarfe was the production designer on the Disney animated feature Hercules (1997). Scarfe also provided the opening titles for Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister. Scarfe's early caricatures of public figures were published in satirical magazine Private Eye throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The Sunday Times magazine assigned Scarfe to cover the 1964 US presidential election. He also produced cover illustrations including caricatures of The Beatles in 1967. The Royal Mail used his artwork for a set of five postage stamps, honoring English comedians, the stamps feature Scarfe caricatures of Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe, Joyce Grenfell, Les Dawson and Peter Cook. Scarfe was awarded 'Cartoonist of the Year' at the British Press Awards 2006. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: In this perceptive "autobiography in pictures," the prolific and versatile British political cartoonist and social commentator recalls that he was frequently bedridden with illness as a child and drawing became his method of communication with the world. He discusses his lack of formal training and his early mindless commercial work, which he calls 'lies' in advertising, which ultimately contributed to his 'desperate need to make drawings that had some purpose, that expressed my hopes and fears. I felt above all the need to capture on paper some sort of social comment.' His humor and cynicism and his penchant for grotesque and striking imagery are evident in the representations of his drawings, paintings and sculpture presented here, depicting the Beatles and economist John Kenneth Galbraith, the British royal family, six American presidents, the Vietnam and 1967 Arab-Israeli wars and the cholera epidemic in Calcutta. …
