Words

Whether or not you’re a fan of Crass, their album artwork and accompanying imagery is incredible; sublimely dark, thoughtful, and often uncomfortable. Frequently attacking humanity's cultural reliance on war, religion and consumerism, London-born artist Gee Vaucher is responsible for the group's idiosyncratic visuals. This rare first edition collects paintings, illustrations and collages from 1961 to 1997, as well as a selection of her work for the politically charged UK punk band.
