Scarfe: Sixty Years of Being Rude

In the stunning retrospective Scarfe, which expands on 2005’s Drawing Blood in every way, Gerald Scarfe’s work is presented as no book has presented it before. This fully illustrated, 576-page volume reveals the truth of sixty years of politics and culture, packed with images that have defined not only one artist’s career, but also twentieth and twenty-first century British life. A showcase of Scarfe’s glittering career in design, reportage and showbusiness, Scarfe presents drawings, sculptures and photographs alongside witty and poignant captions and stories. Scarfe’s muses: Thatcher, Clinton, Blair, May and Trump, as well as many other titanic figures of our times are all here, revealed as they really are by Scarfe’s cutting pen. Carefully curated by the artist himself, this monumental book is the definitive guide to the career of a national treasure.
