Printmaking
Peter Blake combines painting, collage, and print to merge popular culture with folk art and fairground aesthetics, establishing a foundational vocabulary for British Pop art. His work layers celebrity imagery, nostalgic vernacular, and decorative excess; since his declared retirement from painting in 1997, he has continued making work indifferent to critical reception or stylistic consistency.
