An extensive overview of the father of British Pop art's cheeky, incisive collages, paintings and sculptures This volume is dedicated to the English artist Peter Blake (born 1932), who is regarded as one of the founders of British Pop art; he is perhaps best known for codesigning the classic collaged cover for the Beatles album Sgt.
