More about Martin Rowson
For nearly 40 years Martin Rowson has been the scourge of the political establishment, focusing his unflinching eye and scurrilous wit on those in power.
His cartoons for the Guardian, Daily Mirror, Independent, New Statesman and many more, draw from an encyclopaedic knowledge of western culture and combine with a breath-taking talent for image making.
His comics, including The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman and The Communist Manifesto take apparently challenging texts and make them accessible and enlightening for a whole new generation of readers.
What a Fur Cup will feature some of Rowson’s most powerful political cartoons, caricatures and comics and present an entertaining journey through the past forty years of politics and celebrity.
In association with Cross Lane Projects

Always loved his cartoons but his humour and views make me admire him all the more.

Excellent drawing skills go hand in hand with expert satirism. Martin possesses both to a degree that no other UK or possibly world cartoonist does.

Horrible line, laughably bad colouring, v poor crosshatching. Plodding literalness. No doubt supposes raw unsubtlety is somehow the same as being Gillray
