At the climax of the 1930 Prix de beaut?, she is a movie star sitting in a screening room about to watch the rushes of her big song. (It's the sad, teasing "Je n'ai qu'un Amour c'est Toi," and, in another 100th birthday present, is covered on the new CD by World Musette, a Paris band fronted by the cartoonist Robert Crumb.) Her jealous lover creeps into the projection booth and, from there, shoots...

...book has a fault, it's that it stints on his formative punk years in the '70s and '80s, assuming everyone has read Ashley Crawford and Ray Edgar's Spray: The Work of Howard Arkley (1997). As they documented, it was his 1981 mural Primitive, named after a song by The Cramps, that saw Arkley paint his way from an abstract to a figurative style. Perhaps it was his life-long love of doodling that drew him to the airbrush, but this isn't something the new book makes clear. Instead, Gregory (and Smith in the show) bring new insights...
