Pink Floyd
The Wall, 1982
Artwork by Gerald Scarfe

The Wall is a rock ‘n’ roll tour de force, a twisted look into the fragile mind of the film’s protagonist, Pink. Conceived by Roger Waters and based on the 1979 Pink Floyd album of the same name, the narrative of the film is interspersed with trippy, mutated imagery as evidenced by this poster by artist Gerald Scarfe, who was also responsible for the film’s animation sequences. The Wall is highly metaphorical, very much addressing social and individual concerns including alienation, drug use, politics, fascism, war… this poster deftly exemplifies the themes, tone, and gripping metaphors of The Wall, and is a perfect visual counterpoint to Pink Floyd’s master opus.
