There is absolutely no doubt that Mr Scarfe is a talented cartoonist and artist but he does himself no favours with this memoir. After a run through his childhood blighted by asthma and the very early days of his career he settles into a long series of name dropping, stories about his own greatness and talent and the comforts of being rich and privileged. I wouldn't fancy bumping into him in the pub. ( ) Modestly, even diffidently told but with a strong artistic drive showing through. And enough storytelling energy to keep it interesting. Scarfe’s been around for ever it seems, and yet it’s still somehow surprising to learn he was born in the 30s, and so has memories going back to the War. From the Swinging London era on, he’s been hanging out with pop stars, film folk, the fashionable and the talented. And he’s been working hard all that time, so has turned out plenty of memorable pieces, embedding that unique and caustic drawing style in our consciousness. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In Long Drawn Out Trip: My Life, Gerald Scarfe tells his life story for the first time. With captivating, often thrilling stories, he takes us from his childhood and early days at Punch and Private Eye, through his long and occasionally tumultuous career as the Sunday Times cartoonist, to his film-making at the BBC and much-loved designs for Pink Floyd's The Wall and Disney's Hercules. Along the way he has drawn Churchill from life, gone on tour with The Beatles and thoroughly upset Mrs Mary Whitehouse. It is a very personal, wickedly funny and caustically insightful account of an artist's life at the forefront of contemporary culture and society. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
