About This Item
Hardback. New. <b>Exploring an unjustly overlooked figure in 20th-century British visual culture</b><br /><br /> This book offers a comprehensive overview to the work and legacy of David King (1943â2016), whose fascinating career bridged journalism, graphic design, photography, and collecting. King launched his career at Britainâs <i>Sunday Times Magazine</i> in the 1960s, starting as a designer and later branching out into image-led journalism. He developed a particular interest in revolutionary Russia and began amassing a collection of graphic art and photographsâultimately accumulating around 250,000 images that he shared with news outlets. Throughout his life, King blended political activism with his graphic design work, creating anti-Apartheid and anti-Nazi posters, covers for books on Communist history, album artwork for <i>The Who </i>and Jimi Hendrix, catalogues on Russian art and society for the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, and typographic covers for the left-wing magazine <i>City Limits</i>. This well-researched and finely illustrated publication ties together Kingâs accomplishments as a visual historian, artist, journalist, and activist.
