SCARFE (Gerald, b.1936, Cartoonist and Theatrical Designer)

Printed Card with a coloured illustration from his designs for "Orpheus in the Underworld" signed showing his picture of 'Jupiter', an old man with a red nose, standing naked and bowing, holding his top hat over his tummy, 8" x 6", no place, no date, circa

Scarfe's cartoons for Punch, Private Eye and the Sunday Times, show extreme distortion in the tradition of Gillray. He designed the sets and costumes for the English National Opera's 1988 production of Orpheus in the Underworld; among the costumes Scarfe designed were those of the characters Orpheus, Eurydice, and the Gods of Mount Olympus.
