4.0 out of 5 stars
Or more appropriately the villainy of heroes,
By bonser (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heroes and Villians (Hardcover)
An excellent collaboration between the National Portrait Gallery (London, UK) and Gerald Scarfe (a caricaturist of repute - Punch, Private Eye and New Yorker amongst others) reveals the failings of some of our heroes. The list stretches from royalty (HenryVIII) and Princess Diana to celebrities like the Beckhams. Even Darwin, Newton and the father of television Mr Logie Baird cannot escape the sharp wit of Mr. Scarfe. I would recommend this to anyone who likes acerbic wit and caricature, even if you are not familiar with Mr. Scarfe's work. My copy happens to be an autographed one which I purchased while visiting the actual exhibition connected with this book in London. |
