 The Big Interview: Gerald Scarfe | London Theatre Guide
Gerald Scarfe is best known as an acerbic political cartoonist with a sharp, often violent style.
Scarfe is famous as a scabrous cartoonist, deflating political figures with his sharp pen: Maggie Thatcher as an axe beheading the unemployed; a bed-wetting John Major; a graphic portrayal of how Harold Wilson was in the grasp of American president Lyndon Johnson.
Scarfe has relocated the snowflakes that usually "dance in their lovely tutus and so forth in a woodland glade with the snow coming down: I've put them in a giant refrigerator.

Gerald supported by a huge screen and projected photos held the audience captive for 90 minutes as he recalled his life story so far.....The talk inevitably brought up his work with Pink Floyd, the first instance of this was when he spoke of his early childhood and his memories of wearing a gas mask.
Gerald is obviously very accomplished with these type of events and seemed very confident on stage, although he admitted he found exposing himself easier than exposing his art.
Gerald added working with the Floyd meant a lot of people thought I was on drugs, "but I have never touched hard drugs, to me drugs signal remedies to asthma." He then confessed to dabbling in softer drugs with the Floyd later in the Seventies.

 New Statesman: Between the lines - cartoonist Gerald Scarfe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Gerald Scarfe remains one of our best and most savage cartoonists.
In an era when governments and those on the world stage seem more keen than ever to control their iconography, when pop stars and politicians indulge in forceful censorship or the massaging of facts and figures, there is something strangely comforting in witnessing the fruits of an independent eye bent on discovering the truth.
I think that it's the speed of his pen's execution (he won't use a brush to draw: its line is "too soft, too forgiving") which ensures his pictures communicate so powerfully a sense of veracity, an authenticity of observation.

 Scarfe's Line of Attack (Gerald Scarfe)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Scarfe's earlier targets were British politicians but when he was taken on by The Sunday Times, no less, American leaders also came into his sights.
He had a particular fascination with Thatcher, which probably did her no harm as it supported her own self-projection as the iron lady, and he is still at work on Bush and Blair.
In general however, anyone with a self-image can't but have been badly hurt by Scarfe, and even the 'artist' Tracey Emin, who could hardly be called fastidious and who is on personally friendly terms herself with Scarfe, protested about his scatological representation of her - for all the difference that made to him.
