Ralph Steadman
Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream - Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

About the Item

Three colour screenprint on white Rising Stonehenge deckle edge paper Signed in pencil lower right, numbered lower left 56 x 76 cm - Sheet size Edition of 250 published by Petro III Graphics, 2006 Excellent condition. Presented in a black wooden frame with conservation acrylic glazing. Steadman illustrated Hunter S. Thompson's novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971); this image comes from the front cover, although in reverse. Ralph Steadman’s prints depicting Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas are a visceral and chaotic visual interpretation of Hunter S. Thompson’s iconic gonzo narrative. Known for his explosive and anarchic style, Steadman uses splattered ink, jagged lines, and distorted figures to convey the surreal and frenetic energy of the book. The prints capture the wild excess, paranoia, and absurdity that define the story’s exploration of the American Dream. Each piece is infused with a raw emotional intensity, perfectly complementing Thompson’s hallucinatory prose. Steadman’s work for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has become inseparable from the text, elevating it into a multidimensional experience that is both visually and literarily unforgettable.
