Heroes and Villains by Gerald Scarfe
Caricaturist Gerald Scarfe's interpretations of famous figures from the National Portrait Gallery are combined with relevant commentaries from prominent public figures including Melvyn Bragg, Anna Ford and Ian Rankin.
Matthew Parris's stimulating introduction shows how caricature and portraiture combine to illuminate all sides of an individual's character. As a sketch writer for The Times who has anchored his career in making people laugh at politicians, he appreciates the humour of caricature but exposes how merciless and revealing it can be. Gerald Scarfe's long and prestigious career has included work in many of the world's best-known publications, including Punch, Private Eye, The Sunday Times and the New Yorker. He is also acclaimed for his innovative, award-winning designs for theatre and cinema.
