Artist Details
Sir Peter Blake (born June 25th 1932) is a British pop artist best known for his design of the sleeve for the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. During the late 60's Blake became one of the best known British pop artists. His paintings from this time included imagery form advertisements, music hall entertainment and wrestlers, often including collage elements.
It was with the Young Contemporaries exhibition of 1961 where he was exhibited alongside David Hockney and R.B. Kitaj that he was first identified with the emerging British Pop Art Movement. Blake won the (1961) John Moores junior award for his self portrait with badges. He first came to the wider public attention when he featured in Ken Russell's film on pop art, Pop Goes the Easel, which was broadcast on BBC television in 1962. Blake was at the centre of swinging London and in contact with leading figures of popular culture.
