Peter Blake

Peter Blake is an artist who showed 'Pop Art' to many with his very colourful paintings and artwork in which he was one of the first to introduce pop art.
Blake first started his career as an artist with an education at the Gravesend Art School when he was just 16. After a short period of enrolment in the R.A.F., he continued his art studies at the Royal College from 1953-1956 and in the latter half of the ‘50s first earned significant critical acclaim, exhibiting in the R.A. and winning both the Leverhulme Research Award and first prize in the Junior section of the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition. The increased popularity of his work led to the string of album sleeve commissions which, alongside his work for the Beatles, included sleeves for the Band Aid single Do They Know It’s Christmas?, Paul Weller’s Stanley Road and The Who’s Face Dances (1984, 1995 and 1981 respectively) as well as the more recent Oasis Greatest Hits album Stop the Clocks in 2006. Blake was was appointed an R.A. in 1981, awarded a C.B.E. in 1983 and finally knighted for his services to art in 2002. Peter blake has done some amazing work through out his life and has inspired many people into the world of Pop Art with his bright and colourful artwork in the past.
