King launched his career at Britain's \u003ci\u003eSunday Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e in the 1960s, starting as a designer and later branching out into image-led journalism. He developed a particular interest in revolutionary Russia and began amassing a collection of graphic art and photographs--ultimately accumulating around 250,000 images that he shared with news outlets. Throughout his life, King blended political activism with his graphic design work, creating anti-Apartheid and anti-Nazi posters, covers for books on Communist history, album artwork for \u003ci\u003eThe Who \u003c\/i\u003eand Jimi Hendrix, catalogues on Russian art and society for the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, and typographic covers for the left-wing magazine \u003ci\u003eCity Limits\u003c\/i\u003e. This well-researched and finely illustrated publication ties together King's accomplishments as a visual historian, artist, journalist, and activist.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45032989130903,"sku":"9780300250107","price":4324.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300250107.webp?v=1769208843","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/david-king-designer-activist-visual-historian-9780300250107","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
