Ralph Steadman,born 1936,in Wallasey,near
Liverpool.Educated at Abergele Grammar School,North Wales.Apprentice engineer with the De Havilland Aircraft Company.
Served in the RAF (1954-56).Caricaturist, sculptor,painter,printmaker:also writer of
music and songs.Contributor to Punch, Private Eye [UK satirical magazines),The Times and The Daily Telegraph (UK newspapers) [1961-69],to Rolling Stone (1970-79),and the New Statesman (since 1979).A winner of the Francis Williams Illustrations Award (1972) with Alice in Wonderland (1967).Has travelled extensively in America,Canada,Europe and the Orient.
As a caricaturist,Steadman has been influenced by the German expressionist George Grosz and the American Saul Steinberg.He was one of the artists (another was Gerald Scarfe) who,during the
1960's broke away from the tradition of gentlemanly realism established in the 19thC by John Tenniel to explore the realms of passion,fantasy and nightmare.
Significantly,perhaps,he took up the challenge of illustrating 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking-Glass', (first illustrated by Tenniel) and proved to be the only 'Alice' illustrator since Arthur Rackham to succeed in creating convincing images that
owed nothing to Tenniel's authoraitative iconography.His more recent illustrations to 'Sigmund Freud' have been described as
'the mature work of an artist in sympathy with a genius and through that sympathy finding new reaches in his own capabilities' (Michael McNay:The Guardian,
6th July,1982.).
