Discover the eerie similarities between medieval drawings and Slayer t-shirts in this exploration of depictions of topics such as Heaven, Hell, Death, and Martyrdom throughout the history of art. From the 1960s through the 1980s, there has been an increasing obsession with these topics within youth culture. An exhibition of impressive scope, this book includes illustrations by Albrecht Dürer, Edvard Munch, Francisco Goya and Alphonse Mucha compared with an array of pop culture t-shirt and record illustrations from bands such as Sepultura, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, and the Grateful Dead. This exhibition embarks on an in-depth examination of the recurrence of these themes, as evidenced by its chapter titles such as: Holiness and Martyrdom, Time and Death, Witches and Satan, the Psychedelic Hangover, and the Eruption of the Spiritual in the 1960s, to name a few.

This book captures a new moment in Scandinavian design that reveals a fresh direction for the future. Whether perceived as indulgent, challenging, edgy or just downright funny, Nordic visuals are not graphics as we know them in the rest of Europe. Characterised by their spontaneous self-expressions, distrust of design templates and their expertise at collaging banal images, the works featured throughout the book are distinguished by their individual styles. Together, the combined works form a unique narrative that places Nordic design in a broader context. That’s not to say that the rest of the world will always understand them, but the beauty and imagination captured on these pages make it worth trying.
