Peter Blake, the British painter and printmaker, is often referred to as the “Godfather of British Pop Art.” Rising to prominence in the late 1950s and 1960s, Blake became internationally recognised for his bold, colourful imagery that combined elements of popular culture, advertising, and childhood nostalgia. His most iconic contribution remains the co-creation of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover, a work that encapsulates the spirit of Pop Art and cemented his place in cultural history. Beyond this, Blake’s practice spans painting, collage, and printmaking, often featuring motifs drawn from music, sports, literature, and everyday life.
