This is the first ever book about Paul Dufficey’s art. It includes his collages, oil paintings, book illustrations, new digital paintings and his landmark work in the cinema and the opera house.
Paul Dufficey was first discovered by Derek Jarman in 1971 who saw two of Dufficey’s paintings in the Young Contemporaries exhibition in London and hired him to create drawings, paintings and sculpture for Savage Messiah, Ken Russell’s film about Henri Gaudier-Brzeska. As a result, Dufficey designed all the sets, props and graphics for Ken Russell’s Pop Art masterpiece, Tommy (1975). He also designed Russell’s film, Aria and the opera Il Mefistofele, which caused a riot in Genoa.
Dufficey’s work on the grand scale includes the great Brueghel Ceiling at Kentwell Hall in Suffolk, where he also painted the spectacular Shakespearean frieze on the spirit of England. On the smaller scale, though equally hypnotic, is his one-inch painting of a cross-eyed cat.
