More DescriptionSince his emergence in the early 1960s as a key member of the Pop Art movement, Peter Blake (b. 1932) has been one of the best-known artists of his generation. Peter Blake: One-man Show considers the artist's remarkable diversity, assessing his work across all media, from the 1950s to the present. Despite his forays into a range of more experimental media, Blake sees figurative painting as the core of his work, the trunk of a tree whose branches include excursions into Pop Art, collage, sculpture, graphics and printmaking. This book reflects the engagingly diverse and endlessly imaginative one-man show that constitutes the extraordinary and prolific work of Peter Blake.
