Peter Blake was a pioneer of the Pop Art movement in the UK in
the 1950s and
'60s. His interest in and appropriation of popular culture, as seen
in his portraits of movie and pop stars and his re-creations of
commercial packaging, predated Warhol. With his design for the
album cover of the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
and other works, he helped create a British Pop aesthetic that
defined an era. He continues to work today, and generations of
artists have cited him as an influence.
