PETER BLAKE

Exploring his remarkable creative output from the 1950s to the present Peter Blake is the most comprehensive illustrated survey available of the life and work of the artist. Marco Livingstone grounds Blake s art firmly in his working-class origins identifying a yearning for the innocence of childhood in his bittersweet paintings of the early to mid-1950s that depict children reading comics or going to the Saturday matinee at the cinema. From that moment while studying at the Royal College of Art in London Blake concerned himself with popular entertainments as subject matter and as the source of formal solutions for his paintings. The directness with which Blake gave expression to his enthusiasms for mass culture during the 1950s brought him to the forefront of the Pop Art movement before it had even been named and independently of the investigations into similar areas by other British American and European artists. The radical nature of his collage paintings of 1959-62 in particular in which he combined existing imagery from popular culture with unapologetically bold and bright colours made him a singularly influential figure within British Pop.
