I wanted to make an art that was the visual equivalent of pop music.
- Peter Blake

Widely recognised as one of the most prolific artists of the Pop Art movement, Peter Blake is perhaps best known for his co-creation of the Beatles’ album cover for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club and the creation of the cover for the Band Aid single, ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’. The common factor uniting all of Blake’s artistic outputs is his long-standing love of icons and popular culture – he has stated: “All a country has is it’s culture; the rest is infrastructure”. One of Blake’s most popular works was a Through the Looking Glass-inspired painting titled ‘For instance now, now there’s the messenger’ - the depiction of a forlorn-looking Mad Hatter, shackled by the ankle and sitting on a stool, and just one of many of his works that paid tribute to classic English literature and folklore.

What is pop-art?

Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
