Original Storyboard for Pink Floyd The Wall, c.1981

Gerald Scarfe’s unique storyboard for the concept of the film The Wall. It consists of fifty individual illustrations – some pasted onto the finished artifact – in watercolour, on paper.

Collectively, these images comprise Scarfe’s conception of a narrative for the film, based upon Roger Waters’ songs for the Pink Floyd album of the same name. Individually, they not only anticipate many motifs and scenes from the eventual film, but also demonstrate the artist’s unique ability to conjure up a scenario, a milieu, and a mood within a single striking image.

Artwork Notes:
This is the only piece of artwork from his collection which depicts the story of the film in its entirety.
