"An anti-war allegory about a people so obsessed with hatred that they destroy themselves by the very weapon they create." 'This is the simplest, most philosophic idea I've ever tried to put over,' says Steadman. 'The drawings are blatantly aggressive, with a bit of humor, yes, but nevertheless with some strange, subconscious bits and pieces.' It is these 'bits and pieces' that account for the profound, if startling, beauty of Cherrywood Cannon. For strangely, beneath the sense of wretchedness, despair and unrelenting paranoia that pervades the drawings, dominating both landscape and figures, there is something undeniably hopeful struggling to rise to the surface. A glimpse of a better life on the lower slopes of the dark mountain, a fleeting glimpse of peace rarely to be found in his previous work." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 0 pages.
