Peter Blake Biography
Sir Peter Blake (b. 1932) is a British artist widely recognized as one of the leading figures in the Pop Art movement. Best known for co-creating the iconic album cover for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, Blake’s work blends popular culture with fine art. He studied at the Royal College of Art in London, where he developed a unique visual language that incorporated collage, commercial imagery, and bold colors. Over the decades, Blake has created a vast body of work, including paintings, prints, and assemblages that reference music, literature, and nostalgia. His ability to transform everyday imagery into high art has cemented his legacy as one of Britain’s most influential contemporary artists. He was knighted in 2002 for his contributions to the arts.
The Alphabet Series
Peter Blake’s Alphabet Series is a vibrant collection of screenprints, each dedicated to a different letter of the alphabet. Through his signature Pop Art aesthetic, Blake infuses each letter with playful and nostalgic imagery, drawing from classic circus themes, Victorian ephemera, and popular culture. The series is a celebration of typography and visual storytelling, showcasing Blake’s mastery of composition, color, and whimsical narrative. Each print serves as a standalone piece of art while also contributing to the cohesive charm of the full alphabet set.
C is for Clowning is one of the standout prints from Peter Blake’s Alphabet Series.

Peter Blake
Peter Blake is widely regarded as the godfather of British Pop art and the Young British Artists movement (YBA).
Blake created paintings, collages and prints that blend modernity and nostalgia. Though best known for designing the album cover for the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, he considered painting to be central to his oeuvre. While celebrity figures such as Marilyn Monroe informed Blake's work, folk art, fairground signs and an overall sense of nostalgia influenced his style.
In 1997, at the age of 65, Blake emotionally retired from painting and entered what he called his "late period." Afterward, he continued to work but was no longer interested in the art world’s opinion of his art, instead creating what he wanted regardless of its relation to his previous artworks over the course of his career.
