Early study by Gerald Scarfe for the terrifying and creaturely animations that he would design for The Wall, the 1982 movie opera based on the Pink Floyd record of the same name. Designed in close collaboration with Roger Waters. Gerald Scarfe is an English illustrator and cartoonist, most well-known for his magazine caricatures and his collaborations with Pink Floyd, including animating their “Welcome to the Machine” music video, and creating the artwork for their 1979 album The Wall, its 1982 film adaptation, and the supporting 1980-81 tour. This large black-and-white abstract ink sketch was made as concept art for his work on The Wall.
Provenance: from Juliette Gale, first wife of Pink Floyd keyboardist and vocalist Rick Wright.
Price: $1,500.00
