Ralph Steadman: Gonzo Art & Much More

Ralph Steadman: Gonzo Art & Much More on AbeBooks: How would you describe the artwork of Ralph Steadman? Exaggerated, distorted, splattered, gritty? Of course, Steadman will always be famous for his partnership with American author Hunter S Thompson, and together they created ‘Gonzo Journalism.’

An Englishman who lives in Kent, Steadman is a political and social caricaturist. He helped give chaotic texture to the chaotic text produced by Thompson. He has illustrated more than 20 books, including children’s books, and written a few as well.
