Blake is one of the most recognized Pop Artists in the UK. His recognition stems largely from the work he did with the Beatles (he created, with his former wife Jann Haworth, the cover art for the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band). And his work has many characteristics borrowed from former styles, most obviously New Objectivity, but also, often in a more muted fashion, Color Field. He's a very synthetic and talented artist, and I hope you like him.

ReplyDeleteI am doing some homework for art and I was wondering wat style u would call it ?????
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, this answer is coming very late, as I assume your homework was long due, but for the edification of your teacher's future students I would call this art, if I had to choose one style, Expressionist, though it has overtones of Pop Art, Color Field and is specifically influenced by the New Objectivist version of Expressionism.
