An Alphabet (A)
Sir Peter Blake, 2007
A part of 26 silkscreen prints and shows Sir Peter Blake’s fascination with letters, fonts and typography. Blake incorporates imagery from popular culture into his work, including comic books, consumer goods and advertisements. In this display you can find anything from a poem about Leopards (in L), to images of Father Christmas (in X). There is a childlike quality to ‘An Alphabet’ that has its roots in Peter’s own childhood, which was disrupted by the Second World War when he was evacuated. He is one of the most influential painters in the UK and a leading figure in British Pop Art.
