Illustrator/political cartoonist Gerald Scarfe spoke yesterday (6/16/17) with AnalogPlanet editor Michael Fremer after Scarfe's hour-long talk at London's Victoria and Albert Museum where since May 13th (and running through October 1st) "The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains" has been attracting large, enthusiastic crowds.
Scarfe created the memorable characters, illustrations and unforgettable animated videos featured in the group's "The Wall" epic- a memorable live extravaganza mounted but 31 times because of logistical difficulties and high costs involved.
Scarf's work is also seen in the album graphics and of course in the movie "The Wall" directed by Sir Alan Parker. This RU-vid video also includes photos of the museum exhibit taken yesterday.
Scarfe is also a published weekly political cartoonist with a progressive political perspective. A second bonus after the PF museum images has Scarfe and Fremer talking politics. You have been warned.
