Description
David King: Designer, Activist, Visual Historian This comprehensive biography explores the life and work of David King, a pivotal figure in 20th-century British visual culture. From his early days as a designer at Britain's Sunday Times Magazine to his later career as a journalist, photographer, and collector, King's diverse pursuits were united by a passion for social justice. Throughout his life, King created a vast body of work that blended graphic design, image-led journalism, and collecting. His collection of over 250,000 images was shared with news outlets, while he also designed anti-Apartheid and anti-Nazi posters, album artwork, and typographic covers for various publications. This book brings together King's accomplishments as a visual historian, artist, journalist, and activist in a well-researched and finely illustrated publication.
