Jamie Reid, the British artist and political activist whose iconic designs for the Sex Pistols became synonymous with the punk aesthetic and anarchist movement, has died, his gallerist John Marchant announced Wednesday. Reid was 76. Reid’s “ransom note” graphics and political boldness helped cement the Pistols’ celebrity and gave punk rock a clear, enduring visual style.
One of his most iconic — and, at the time, incredibly controversial — works was the cover for the Sex Pistols single “God Save the Queen,” a song which condemned the monarchy and Queen Elizabeth II’s reign as a “fascist regime.” The single’s artwork featured text of the song’s title in the font Reid created superimposed over a black-and-white portrait of the monarch.
