Krátky popis
A fully updated edition of the most comprehensive illustrated
survey of the life and work of Peter Blake, one of Britain's most
popular artists. Since his emergence in the early 1960s as a key
member of the Pop Art movement, Peter Blake has become one of the
best-known and most popular artists of his generation. Though
primarily a painter, he has worked across many media, from
drawings, watercolours and collages to sculpture and printmaking,
as well as commercial art in the form of graphics and album covers
- most notably his design for The Beatles' Sgt.Pepper album in
1967. 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.This fully updated edition includes a new chapter on
what the artist has jokingly styled his 'Late Period', in which
Blake has continued to mine the many strands of his art with
undiminished energy and completed some of his most ambitious
long-standing projects. As well as the sheer scale of Blake's
production, what becomes clear is the kaleidoscopic variety of
subject matter, form and medium to be found in his work, its humour
and friendly appeal, and, above all, its celebration of life and
humanity.
