| Meer info | \"Arthur Wragg, unlike fellow illustrators David Low and 'Vicky', has been relegated to a footnote in the story of British twentieth-century art. And yet his Psalms for Modern Life was reprinted ten times within three years of being published in 1933. He was asked to design the first cover for the socialist magazine, Tribune, and his trenchant social and political cartoons were in constant demand from national newspaper editors. Contemporaries - Vera Brittain and Beverley Nichols among them - considered him a major civilising force. Wragg was also a fine commercial artist, from advertisements for such clients as Abdulla Cigarettes between the wars to a series of outstanding record sleeves for Argo/Decca in the 1960s and '70s.\" \"Judy Brook's memoir of this gentle pacifist reveals the man behind the forgotten reputation - humane, self-doubting, humorous, yet driven by a fierce anger at the social injustice, human folly and commercial greed he saw all around him. It was an anger that produced a series of powerful, searing illustrations for his own books, such as Jesus Wept and Thy Kingdom Come, and commissions for others, including Oscar Wilde's The Ballad of Reading Gaol, for which he drew on his experience as a prison visitor during the war years.\"--BOOK JACKET. |
