Brian Grimwood
The Man Who Changed the Look of British Illustration
Synopsis
Brian Grimwood: The Man Who Changed the Look of British Illustration is the first book on renowned illustrator and artist Brian Grimwood, whose work has been featured across the board in advertising, design and publishing industries.
His free and fluid style first characterized the visual culture of the 1960s in iconic images such as those used in magazines including Nova, Image, Playboy, Nave, Forum, New Scientist and Economist. As his career progressed Grimwood's illustrations became more and more synonymous with British and Western popular culture and advertising, as evinced, for example, by his covers and identities for the Radio Times, Faber&Faber, WH Smith and Johnny Walker, amongst many others.
With an Introduction by Brian Grimwood's friend and peer, Sir Peter Blake, this beautifully illustrated book is the first complete overview of Grimwood's work, and serves to further reinforce his fundamental contribution to the changing face of illustration since the 1960s.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"Its style makes the book very readable since the questions and answers are short and cover the subjects of his life and artwork" The City Book Review "The legacy of Grimwood's influence is quite a direct one, beyond style and technique, in that he is the founding director of the Central Illustration Agency, a collective which has Sir Peter Blake, Jeff Fisher, and David Hughes on its books, among some 80 other illustrators" Design Week
