The artists Gilbert & George (*1943/1942) have been creating their extraordinary, trademark, large-scale pictures for more than forty years. In their deeply serious, visually powerful, yet to some provocative way, the artists explore themes such as religion, sexuality, and discrimination. With 153 color illustrations, this publication presents the artists new, comprehensive group of works entitled Jack Freak Pictures. The series focuses on the British national symbol, the Union Jack, and all of its different connotations from its being a metaphor for national pride to being a cult symbol of British pop culture. Surrounded by medals and amulets, the streets of London , and the red, white, and blue of the national flag, as has been the case in their past works, Gilbert & George are not only the creators, but also the inhabitants of their own visual world.
