The Art of Theft: Originality is an Illusion
Picasso said 'All art is theft' and Spitting Image caricaturist, Roger Law proudly admits he nicked lots on a revealing ride through 300 years of caricature. This amusing, illustrated lecture is a rare opportunity to meet one of the greats of British satire from the 60s to the naughties.
Roger Law used to be famous. He was the artist and energy behind the success of the TV satirical puppet show Spitting Image. When the show finished he quietly deported himself to Australia to concentrate on what was left of his talent. When not in Oz he can be found in Wells-next-the-Sea.
