Regarded as one of Britain’s most famous living artists, Peter Blake (b. 1932) is also a pioneer of British pop art and a master draughtsman who works across the mediums of paint, collage and print. In Study for 'Party' 4 (2018) we see his attention to life drawing and in what has been likened to an ‘astonishing economy of line’, through which he blends a sense of modernity and familiarity alongside the passage of time.
