Ralph Steadman - Sigmund Freud
Taschenbuch: 118 Seiten
Verlag: FIREFLY BOOKS LTD
Sprache: Englisch

"Ralph Steadman has been a cartoonist since 1956, starting as a caustic observer of Britain's political and social scene. He is well known as the illustrator of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Steadman's work appears regularly in newspapers and magazines, including Rolling Stone and the Atlantic Monthly, and his many published books include Tales of the Weirrd and Alice in Wonderland.

Strangely compelling....In typical Steadman style the drawings go beyond a normal perception of an idea and leap ahead into the bizarre mindscape where Steadman's artwork takes on a life of its own.

Steadman's text here is as witty as his drawings, both illustrating not only Freud's classification of jokes, but also the events of Freud's life. (The North Carolina Review of Books)" (Amazon)

"Ralph Steadman (* 15. Mai 1936 in Wallasey im englischen County Cheshire) ist ein britischer Autor, Illustrator, Cartoonist und Karikaturist.

Steadman absolvierte das East Ham Technical College und das London College of Printing and Graphic Arts während der 1960er Jahre. In dieser Zeit arbeitete er freiberuflich für Punch, Private Eye, The Daily Telegraph, The New York Times und das Rockmusik-Fachblatt Rolling Stone.

Steadman ist bekannt für seine ironischen, politisch und sozial akzentuierten Karikaturen und Cartoons sowie für seine Illustrationen in einer Reihe von Bildbänden, etwa Alice im Wunderland, Die Schatzinsel und Animal Farm. Außer dem Verfassen und Illustrieren seiner eigenen Bücher hat Steadman mit etlichen Schriftstellern zusammengearbeitet, darunter Hunter S. Thompson, Ted Hughes und Brian Patten. Er wurde 1979 zum Illustrator of the Year gewählt vom American Institute of Graphic Arts. 1989 schrieb er das Libretto für ein Öko-Oratorium namens Plague and the Moonflower, welches in fünf Kathedralen in Großbritannien aufgeführt wurde und ein paar Jahre später von BBC2 verfilmt wurde (1994).

Er hat die Winzer und Destillerien der ganzen Welt aufgesucht, immer auf der Suche nach dem Außergewöhnlichen (Oddbins). Daraus resultierten zwei preisgekrönte Bücher, The Grapes of Ralph und Still Life With Bottle.

Die University of Kent hat ihm die Ehrendoktorwürde verliehen." (Wikipedia)

Ralph Steadman - Extinct Boids
Gebundene Ausgabe: 240 Seiten
Verlag: A & C Black
Sprache: Englisch

"When Ceri Levy asked Ralph Steadman to produce one piece of art representing an extinct bird for a recent exhibition, Ghosts of Gone Birds, Ralph said 'yes'. Then 'yes' again ... and again ... and again.

An astonishing 100 paintings later, Extinct Boids was born.

Ralph got carried away by the birds, taking Ceri with him ... this book details the discoveries they made on their travels through the savage seas of extinction. After stumbling on the previously hidden Toadstool Island, where the extinct birds of the world live on in secretive harmony, the duo spent nearly a year in close proximity to a host of fantastical avian creatures.

Ralph documents them all in this series of remarkable paintings, featuring unique interpretations of well-known birds such as the Great Auk, Passenger Pigeon and Dodo, along with less familiar members of the feathersome firmament - Snail-eating Coua, for example, or the Red-moustached Fruit Dove - and a variety of bizarre beasts including the Gob Swallow, the Long-legged Shortwing and the Needless Smut. All are captured in a riot of expression and colour, with a slice of trademark Steadman humour.

Based on emails, diary entries and phone conversations, Ceri's accompanying text provides a running commentary, detailing the unfolding madness behind the creation of each piece in Ralph's extraordinary work. Things got tough as the pair discovered just how many amazing birds have been lost from our world forever.

"But," as Ralph said "it did, after all, make a nice change from drawing politicians".

Bloomsbury is proud to publish this unique title." (Amazon)

Alice in Wonderland
Lewis Carroll  (Autor), Ralph Steadman (Illustrator)

"The force of social satire and fantasy in the original text of Alice in Wonderland is as relevant today as when the book was first published in 1865. In this edition, Ralph Steadman's drawings remain faithful to the book's satirical tone while revealing his own passion for irony." (Amazon)

Critical Critters
Ralph Steadman (Autor), Ceri Levy (Autor)
Gebundene Ausgabe: 216 Seiten
Verlag: Bloomsbury Natural History
Sprache: Englisch

"Following on from Extinct Boids and Nextinction, Critical Critters is the third in this epic trilogy of books dedicated to extinct and critically endangered animals from cartoonist Ralph Steadman and film-maker Ceri Levy - the GONZOVATIONISTS.

Expect plenty more of what made the first two books so successful - unpredictable nonsense beasts, irreverent jokes, a diary-style record of the creative mayhem, and around 100 spectacular illustrations by Ralph of critically endangered mammals, insects, fish, lizards and trees - a stunning collection, with a serious conservation message.

Ceri's humorous but meaningful message accompanied by Ralph's sensational paintings will satisfy art-lovers and conservationists alike." (Amazon)

Nextinction
Ralph Steadman (Autor), Ceri Levy (Autor)
Gebundene Ausgabe: 224 Seiten
Verlag: Bloomsbury Natural History; Auflage: 01 (16. Juli 2015)
Sprache: Englisch

"The Boids are back in town ...

The follow-up to the award-winning EXTINCT BOIDS, this book features more of the incredible art of cartoonist Ralph Steadman. This time the focus is not on the birds that are gone, but the ones that there's still time to save. These are the 192 Critically Endangered birds on the IUCN Red List, species such as the Giant Ibis, the Kakapo, the Sumatran Ground-cuckoo and the iconic Spoon-billed Sandpiper - these, along with a number of classic Steadman creations such as the Unsociable Lapwing, are the NEARLY-EXTINCT BOIDS.

Woids are again by author, conservationist and film-maker Ceri Levy. Together, Ceri and Ralph are THE GONZOVATIONISTS." (Amazon)

Ralph Steadman - The Joke's Over
Taschenbuch: 448 Seiten
Verlag: Mariner Books
Sprache: Englisch

"In the spring of 1970, artist Ralph Steadman went to America in search of work and found more than he bargained for when he met Hunter S. Thompson at the Kentucky Derby. Their remarkable collaboration resulted in the now-legendary Gonzo Journalism, which would document the civil rights movement, the Nixon administration, Watergate, and the many bizarre and great events that shaped the second half of the twentieth century. When Thompson committed suicide in 2005, it was the end of a unique friendship filled with both betrayal and understanding. A rollicking, no-holds-barred memoir, The Joke?s Over is the definitive inside story of the Gonzo years." (Amazon)

Ralph Steadman - Little.com
Gebundene Ausgabe: 32 Seiten
Verlag: DAVID R GODINE PUBL
Sprache: Englisch

"Who would have guessed that the seemingly mild-mannered dot who holds our internet together actually has a riotous secret life of its own? What is it, exactly, that it gets up to when we turn our computers off? Renowned illustrator Ralph Steadman is just the person to show us. In this madcap adventure, little Dot, setting off to take tea with its good friend the Duchess, happens to run afoul of the mustachioed Duke of Bogshott and his White Army . . . at which point things get seriously weird, with a plot involving terrifically epic battles, wedding invitations, downhill rollerblading, and inky socks. In Steadman's silly, anarchic paintings, little Dot runs wild-and invites the reader along for the ride." (Amazon)
