• Smash Hits, the new Grayson Perry retrospective at Edinburgh’s National Galleries, spans the 40-year career of the recently knighted artist.
• This makes a satisfying contrast with the highly polished style of his vases and the intricacy of his prints and tapestries.
• Access to adult education, arts funding and affordable housing – some of the conditions that helped make Perry – have all been eroded.

Sympathetic heretic

• His brand of self-mocking “iconclasm” is on parade in the print Map of Nowhere (2008).
• This depicts Perry “as a God … A heavenly light shines out of my anus onto a mountaintop shrine”.
• These lie at the heart of his work and are named in his discussion of his transformation through therapy.
• It was about me putting on the clothes that gave me the feelings that I wanted.

Made in Britain

• Another is the embroidery Britain is Best (2014) which depicts five men crammed on one horse, based on interviews with Unionists in Northern Ireland for his television series Who are You?.
• “They seem to be holding out for an imagined Golden Age,” Perry muses.
• Imagination, depicted as a river in Perry’s wonderful A Map of Days (2013) uproots oppressive states, inner and outer.
• But to understand how the many might join him and thrive, rather than merely survive, we must look beyond the maps that Perry provides.
