	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.

		Artist of 5 portraits, Sitter in 2 portraits.

		Blake claimed the method was revealed to him in a vision of his dead brother, Robert.
		Blake seems to have believed, or rather hoped, that self-published books could liberate the artist and author from the tyranny of censorship by Church and State but its time-consuming nature meant that his most personal and prophetic works reached a minute audience in his lifetime.
		Blake benefited from this group technically, by sharing in their advances in watercolour painting, and personally, by finding a receptive audience for his ideas.

	Guardian \| Self-Portrait With Badges, Peter Blake (1961)
		Artist: Peter Blake (born 1932), who was as interested in folk art as in pop, collecting "outsider" paintings, pub signs and ephemera when he started making paintings of instantly recognisable popular subjects as a student at the Royal College of Art in the 1950s.
		But Blake was very different from Independent Group artists such as Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton, with their science-fiction aesthetic and theoretical examination of consumer culture.
		Blake is a Chelsea pensioner of the pop revolution, chest laden with medals.

		Peter Blake creates collages that are undoubtedly odd but never jarring or disruptive.
		Blake is never particularly critical of the cultural iconography he plays with, just amused.
		But mixed in with Blake's predilection for iconic figures found in unlikely places is his love of the purely peculiar.

		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.

		There has to be: Blake might be entering his 74th year, the grandfather of British pop art and all that, but he's still working like a demon.

	Review: Blake by Peter Ackroyd
		Perhaps because William Blake tends to have disciples, rather than readers, most reviewers of Peter Ackroyd's new biography, Blake, have spent as much time presenting their own views as in discussing the book.
		And he has shown how the development of Blake's art and poetry was influenced by the work he was obliged to do in order to keep body and soul together.
		In this realistic biography, Blake's innovative process for printing his writing and his art together (a combination which was essential to his imaginative efforts to "display the infinite" to his fellow beings) is seen to be as much a financial necessity as a stroke of inventive genius.
