SIR PETER BLAKE
Peter Blake's early work is dominated by two major subjects: fantastic scenes from the world of the circus and naturalistic paintings with autobiographic elements.
Theimitation of the popular image world of event posters, which Blake combined with portraits, was typical of his work.
Circus characters and children reading comic books are among the artist's typical motifs. In style and content both types of pictures paved the way for English Pop Art.
