Peter Blake
Peter Blake (born
25 June 1932) is a pop English artist, best known for his collages and
printmaking. His best known piece of collage work is his collage sleeve cover
for the Beatles’ album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, below. It’s a
bright and colourful piece of work that is easily recognisable today that celebrates many pop culture icons and
celebrities.
I like this collage because it’s more geometric and neat, so it’s easier on the eyes, but it’s still bright and colourful like the rest of his work. It also seems to have an American theme to it as it contains American icons and culture, like the American flag and the target, and other pop art like Roy Lichtenstein’s work.
I also like this
collage even though it’s a little cluttered and random, but in a good way. It
seems to be made of raffle tickets, postcards, timetables and any old pieces
and images, and a few obviously British little pieces Blake has found and
kept. It really seems to give off a
nostalgic and classic sort of feel to it because of the kinds of things he’s
used, and I really like it.
