Gerald Scarfe is a political cartoonist. Before visiting this exhibition I had little idea about his work and what to expect. Upon arrival at the House of Illustration I quickly realised that I had seen his work in Disney's Hercules and The Nutcracker. I liked visiting this exhibition because it gave me an invite into Scarfe's creative process, showing his storyboards along with some of his finished illustrations and physical props. I think that this variation in what was shown was what made the exhibition more engaging as I found a lot of his sketches to be similar. Within this gallery there was also an exhibition about Quentin Blake. I was looking forward to seeing this because his illustrations were a big part of my childhood (featured in the books i read). When looking around this gallery I found that one piece would lead quite nicely onto the next, with various drawings from different books, a wide range of his work was on display.
Overall I liked both of the exhibitions at this gallery and think that they offered an insight into the way in which these illustrators work. However I feel like the Gerald Scarfe exhibition was a bit crammed in which meant, when walking round it was easy to miss things.
