The skull is one of the most recognizable symbols of today's contemporary visual culture. Since its 1970s renaissance in the iconic album designs of bands like the Grateful Dead, the skull has found its way into the visual vocabulary of urban life, adorning T-Shirts, badges and rock memorabilia as the ultimate symbol of anarchy and rebellion. Repurposed and recast by artists, illustrators and designers, it has become one of the most iconic cultural symbols of our time. In response to this cultural phenomenon, The Book of Skulls presents a visual guide, charting an iconographical rebirth through music and street art. From Black Sabbath to Cypress Hill, skater punk graffiti to Goth tattoos, from high-couture to Hello Kitty and Dali to Damien Hirst, this book is the ultimate collection of contemporary skull motifs and a celebration of one of our time's most iconic cultural symbols. |
