	Peter Blake (artist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The outbreak of World War II impacted Peter Blake’s youth to a large extent as he was evacuated from his hometown and this situation coupled with the wartime resource rationing and economic conditions resulted in a profound effect upon the subject matter within Blake’s later works.
		Blake was part of a generation that would be deeply affected in the post-war situation as young men were required to serve in the military; subsequently the high cost of training conscripts, resources for the military and the redirection of the young male workforce contributed to the decline of the British economy.
		Blake was made a Royal Academician in 1981, a CBE in 1983, and in 2002 was knighted.

	BBC - Norfolk Culture Alphabet: a Pop Art exhibition by Peter Blake
		Peter Blake won international fame in the 1960's as one of the leading exponents of the British Pop Art movement.
		The prints are evocative of Blake's early work and perhaps serve as an index of some of his artistic interests and veneration for the icons of popular culture demonstrated explicitly in the seminal cover art for the Beatle's 'Sergeant Pepper' album.
		Blake's work has defined him as a serious commentator on political, cultural and humanist issues through images born from a love affair with the icons and ephemera of popular culture, emphasised by the use of collage, photo-montage, lithography and silkscreen printing: indicative of qualities that defined Pop Art.

		Blake's prophetic books are, in proportion to their length and literary importance, amongst the least read texts within the body of English Literature.
		Ackroyd's examination of Blake's life is important in that it aids in expelling this illusion, both by relating the nature of Blake's time and place to the artist's output, and by being willing to engage Blake on his own ground.
		Either way, Blake is far from a madman and closer to a genius; consequently, one can feel the grain of his life - as he lived it - passing under the fingertips as they turn the pages.

		Eliot, Blake was a visionary, who long before Freud saw warfare as a form of repressed sexuality and believed there were eternal states of rage, desire and selfhood through which a man passes, keeping his soul intact.
		Peter Ackroyd's 1995 "Blake: A Biography," is a good, but not a great biography of the late 18th-early 19th century poet, prophet, painter, and genius, William Blake.
		Certainly, Blake is one artist who invites such interpretations, with the fact that he attributed his method of illuminated printing to a conversation with his dead brother, Robert, and the fact that Blake incorporates figures from his own life in his works.
