Ralph Steadman ist ein britischer Cartoonist und Illustrator, der für seinen scharfen sozialen und politischen Kommentar bekannt ist. Seine Arbeit, die sich durch wilde, ausdrucksstarke Linien und oft beunruhigenden Humor auszeichnet, taucht in die absurden und dunkleren Aspekte der menschlichen Natur ein. Steadman zeichnet sich durch die Schaffung unvergesslicher Bilder aus, die ebenso provokativ wie witzig sind. Sein kühner visueller Stil und seine kompromisslose Weltsicht machen ihn zu einer einzigartigen Größe in der Illustrationskunst.
