Peter Blake

British, 1932-2006

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.

"Leo '79" Signed Print by Peter Blake, 1969

Located in Brooklyn, NY
Largely considered to be the founder of the British Pop Art Movement of the 1960s, Sir Peter Blake made a name for himself with colorful prints, collages, and paintings that combined the past and present. While best known for designing the iconic album cover to The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "Leo '79" is part of his highly desirable print series titled, "Six French Postcards". Hand-signed and numbered 73 out of 75 by the artist. This piece is a wonderful investment that will impress and intrigue for years and years to come. Great for collectors of pop art, Beatles memorabilia...
