Ralph Steadman je britský karikaturista a kreslíř známý svým ostrým sociálním a politickým komentářem. Jeho práce, charakteristická divokými, expresivními liniemi a často znepokojivým humorem, se ponořuje do absurdních a temných stránek lidské povahy. Steadman exceluje ve vytváření nezapomenutelných obrazů, které jsou stejně provokativní jako vtipné. Jeho odvážný vizuální styl a nekompromisní pohled na svět z něj činí jedinečnou postavu v oblasti umění.
