Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band\u003c\/i\u003e. Across his painting, sculpture, collage and graphic art works, images from the realms of the circus, amusement parks, boxing and wrestling abound. These images often transmit historical references with a sense of irreverent, absurdist yet endearing humor--in other words, \"nonsense,\" a quintessentially English kind of humor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith Love\u003c\/i\u003e presents a retrospective look at the artist's life and work. In an extensive critical text, curator Jonathan Watkins traces Blake's artistic journey, particularly delving into the challenging early years of his life that informed his practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 181\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 11.7 x 10.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 28, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42150849446023,"sku":"9788836655908","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/9133b353678676be1885228906c6395c.webp?v=1733202753","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/peter-blake-with-love-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
