Publisher's Synopsis
XXXXX is a full-colour, comprehensive survey of collages, paintings, and sketches by British artist, iconoclast, anarchist, punk, hippy, shit-stirring rebel and romantic Jamie Reid. This visual diary assembles Reid's earliest graphic ventures out of art school, raw material from his most famous works for the Sex Pistols and unseen flashes of rebellion and beauty up to the present day. In true DIY ethos, this book serves up Reid's anarchist, situationist, surrealist, dadaist and druidic influences with wild energy and no explanations; to allow the work to speak for itself, to allow readers to draw their own connections.
