Also, Scarfe was the production designer on the Disney animated feature Hercules (1997).

Early life

Scarfe was born in St John's Wood, London.GRO Register of Births: SEP 1936 1a 774 HAMPSTEAD, Gerald A. Scarfe, mmn = Gardner As Scarfe was severely asthmatic as a child, he spent many of his early years bed-ridden,{{cite web |url=https://www.bigissue.com/latest/cartoonist-gerald-scarfe-reveals-the-one-thing-he-couldnt-draw/ |title=Gerald Scarfe: How my childhood loneliness led to my grotesque cartoons|work=Big Issue |date= 4 October 2019|first=4 October 2019 Jane |last=Graham }} so drawing became a means of entertainment as well as a creative outlet. Scarfe speculated that the dark and grotesque images that often characterise his work are a result of his loneliness and asthma. Scarfe has stated that the irreverence apparent in much of his work can be traced back to "dodgy treatments" and a reliance on what he feels were incompetent doctors.{{cite news|first=Kevin|last=Perry|title=Gerald Scarfe feature interview and profile|url=http://kevinegperry.com/2007/02/27/gerald-scarfe-interview|publisher=The Beaver|date=27 February 2007|access-date=29 September 2010|location=London, UK|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130120101409/http://kevinegperry.com/2007/02/27/gerald-scarfe-interview/|archive-date=20 January 2013|url-status=live}}

The cartoonist Ronald Searle was an early influence for Scarfe. At the age of 14 and now living in Hampstead, North London, Scarfe decided it would be easy to cycle to Bayswater and visit Searle. He went several times but never rang the doorbell. It would be decades before he would actually meet Searle in 2005.{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-features/7836180/Gerald-Scarfe-political-cartoonist.html |title=Gerald Scarfe, political cartoonist |first= Jessica|last= Salter|date= 17 June 2010|work=The Telegraph |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131223092217/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-features/7836180/Gerald-Scarfe-political-cartoonist.html |archive-date=23 December 2013 }} Scarfe attended Saint Martin's School of Art (now part of the University of the Arts London) in Holborn, London.Maurice Horn (1983).

Career

=Early work=

After briefly working in advertising, a profession he grew to dislike intensely, Scarfe's early caricatures of public figures were published in satirical magazine Private Eye throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Beginning in 1960, he produced illustrations for Punch, The Evening Standard and The Daily Sketch. The Sunday Times magazine assigned Scarfe to cover the 1964 US presidential election. He continued to work for The Sunday Times for two years, also producing several cover illustrations for Time magazine, including caricatures of The Beatles in 1967.{{cite book|last1=Souter|first1=Nick|last2=Souter|first2=Tessa|title=The Illustration Handbook: A guide to the world's greatest illustrators|year=2012|publisher=Oceana|isbn=978-1-84573-473-2|page =307}}

In the mid-1960s he took a job at the Daily Mail following a Dutch auction for his services with the Daily Express. His decision to work for the Daily Mail led to his estrangement from fellow cartoonist Ralph Steadman, alongside whom he had studied art at East Ham Technical College. Soon after, Steadman was commissioned to illustrate Scarfe and "produced an image that was half saint and half Superman, but with a disconnected heart".{{Cite book|url=http://www.cartoons.ac.uk/artists/ralphsteadman/biography|title=Ralph Steadman|type=biography|series=British Cartoon Archive|publisher=University of Kent|access-date=7 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120215123542/http://www.cartoons.ac.uk/artists/ralphsteadman/biography|archive-date=15 February 2012|url-status=live}} Scarfe spent only one year working for the Daily Mail, during which time he was sent to provide illustrations from the Vietnam War.

=Pink Floyd and Roger Waters=

Scarfe was approached to work with Pink Floyd after Roger Waters and Nick Mason both saw his animated BBC film A Long Drawn Out Trip. Pink Floyd's 1974 programme for their tour in the UK and US, in the form of a comic, included a centre-spread caricature of the band.{{Cite book| publisher = Omnibus| isbn = 978-0711941090| last1 = Miles| first1 = Barry| last2 = Mabbett| first2 = Andy| title = Pink Floyd - The Visual Documentary| location = London| date = 1994}} Scarfe later produced a set of animated short clips used on the 1977 In The Flesh tour, including a full-length music video for the song Welcome to the Machine.{{Cite journal|url=http://www.rogerwaters.org/22/scarfeint.html|title=A Long Drawn-Out Trip: An Interview with Gerald Scarfe|first=Michael|last=Simone|journal=REG Magazine|issue=22|access-date=26 January 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070820133338/http://www.rogerwaters.org/22/scarfeint.html|archive-date=20 August 2007|url-status=dead}}

Scarfe also drew the illustrations for their 1979 album The Wall and provided animation and stage props, including enormous inflatable characters for the subsequent 1980–1981 concert tour in support of that album. In 1982, he worked on the film version of The Wall, although he and Roger Waters fell out with director Alan Parker during the latter stages of editing.{{Cite book| publisher = Omnibus| isbn = 9781849383707| last = Mabbett| first = Andy| title = Pink Floyd - The Music and the Mystery| location = London| date = 2010}} As well as the artwork, Scarfe contributed 15 minutes' worth of elaborate animation to the film, including a sequence depicting the German bombing campaign over England during World War II, set to the song "Goodbye Blue Sky". Some of the animated footage was not original to the film, having been produced for and used in the 1980–81 concert tour, as well as being featured in the 1979 music video for "Another Brick in the Wall: Part 2".{{citation needed|date=June 2014}}

Scarfe continued to work with Roger Waters after the latter left Pink Floyd, creating the graphics and animation for Waters' solo album The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (1984) and its supporting tour. Scarfe was also involved in subsequent theatrical adaptations of The Wall, including The Wall Concert in Berlin (1990), and Waters' worldwide The Wall Live (2010-2013) tour, where his animations were projected on a vast scale. Scarfe's collaboration with Waters was marked in 2008 by the release of a signed limited-edition eight-print series, "Scarfe on the Wall", which contained a monograph book with an extended new interview with Scarfe and was signed by Roger Waters. Early editions of "Scarfe on The Wall" (by date of pre-order, not issue number) came with an additional print giving a total of nine in the set – making these the rarest and most valuable sets. In 2010, Scarfe's book The Making of Pink Floyd: The Wall was published, detailing the artist's work with Pink Floyd and Roger Waters from 1974 to 2010. The book contains contributions from Floyd members Roger Waters, Nick Mason, and David Gilmour, as well as director of the film, Alan Parker.{{citation|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/av/entertainment-arts-11620342/meet-the-author-gerald-scarfe-on-his-role-with-pink-floyd|title=BBC News Meet The Author: Gerald Scarfe on His Role with Pink Floyd|work=BBC News|date=25 October 2010}}
