Gerald Scarfe...Artist
Gerald Scarfe was born in London. He was asthmatic as a child and spent much time drawing and reading. After a brief period at the Royal College of Art in London, he established himself as a satirical cartoonist with images based on extreme distortion in the tradition of Gillray (eg Mick Jagger's lips are drawn larger than the rest of his face). Scarfe’s work has appeared in Punch magazine and Private Eye during the early sixties, extensively in The Sunday Times since 1967 and has been the appointed artist to the New Yorker since 1993.
He has had many exhibitions worldwide, including New York, Osaka, Montreal, Los Angeles, Sydney, Melbourne, Chicago and London, and recently exhibition of his work, Heroes and Villains, was held at the National Portrait Gallery in 2003. He has designed the sets and costumes for plays, operas and musicals in London, Houston, Los Angeles and Detroit. His film work includes designing and directing the animation for Pink Floyd's The Wall. Scarfe has written and directed many live action and documentary films for BBC and Channel 4 and has published many books of his work; his most recent book, Gerald Scarfe: Drawing Blood: 45 Years of Scarfe Uncensored was published in November 2005. He is married to actress Jane Asher.
