Today marks the 60th anniversary of the release of The Beatles’ ‘Revolver’. With its experimental use of studio recording techniques, and by drawing upon influences beyond western music, this classic album revolutionised rock and pop music.

Artist Matthew Collings sat down with The Communist to discuss his series ‘Drawings against Genocide’ which exposes the horrors inflicted by Israel upon Gaza, as well as fighting attacks from Zionists, and how art fits into the class struggle.

In this talk, Will Collins from the RCP Central Committee explains how surrealism grew out of the general feeling of malaise and anger that existed across Europe following the barbarism of the First World War and at the same time the inspiration from the revolutionary events that swept Europe.
