Frases de Peter Blake

Peter Thomas Blake es un pintor inglés contemporáneo, perteneciente a la primera generación de artistas del pop art británico, junto a figuras como David Hockney, y que tuvo una gran influencia en la época, sobre todo a partir de la exposición dedicado a ellos por la Royal Society of British Artists en 1961.

Estudió en el Gravesend Technical College, en la School of Art y en el Royal College of Art de Londres .

Desde su época de estudiante su obra refleja un gran interés por el arte popular y el folclore. Sus primeras obras, realizadas en la década de 1950, sobre todo en paneles de madera envejecida, retratan niños con cómics y chapas, como por ejemplo, Niños leyendo cómics , con un estilo deliberadamente naif. La fascinación por el coleccionismo y la preocupación por lo «efímero de la vida moderna» siguen presentes en su obra de finales de la década de 1950, en la que empezó a hacer collages y composiciones con tarjetas postales, fotografías e ilustraciones de actores y artistas pop contemporáneos, combinándolas con formas geométricas de brillantes colores.

A diferencia de otros artistas de vanguardia de la época, como Richard Hamilton y Eduardo Paolozzi, que utilizaban recortes de imágenes de anuncios y revistas, Blake presentaba imágenes ready-made sin alterar en obras como Fragmento de arte y Tengo novia .

En Autorretrato con chapas se retrató como coleccionista. Diseñó también, junto con su entonces esposa, la también artista pop Jann Haworth,[1]​ la portada del disco de The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band .[2]​ Desde la década de 1970 abandonó los motivos de la cultura popular para dedicarse a temas tradicionales del siglo XIX, como las hadas y otras figuras del mundo de la fantasía, sobre todo entre 1975 y 1979, época en la que vivió en Bath. Continuó trabajando en la misma línea durante las décadas de 1980 y 1990. La exposición retrospectiva de su obra, Ahora ya tenemos 64, que organizó la National Gallery de Londres en 1996, puso de relieve el interés que su obra seguía despertando hacia finales del siglo.

La importante retrospectiva crealizada por la Tate Liverpool en 2007, con más de 100 de sus obras procedentes de varios países, fue presentada en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao el año siguiente.[1]​ Su obra Montgomery Clift was a Twin fue adquirida por el Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao en 2002.[1]​ Wikipedia

Peter Blake: Frases en inglés

“Most artists go potty as they get older: dafter and madder as they get more celibate. So I am consciously going to do that.”

“I don’t think artists should be sponsored. You should not rely on grants. You either make a success of your art or you don’t. I worked as an artist for a number of years without making much money – I have never had any financial backing in that way. Things are now very good for me but for a lot of the time things were not.”

Sgt. Pepper's cover

“My dealer was a friend of the Beatles and the Stones, and he suggested they used a fine artist. I talked to the Beatles at length about what the cover would be. I worked out it would show the moment after they had played in a bandstand in the park. My big contribution was the life-size cutouts, the magic crowds.”

“Brian Sewell is a fool. For some years he seemed to have it in for me and Hockney and Kitaj. Even if he wasn't writing about us he'd always find a way of bringing us in. He'd say, "so and so was a bad artist but not as bad as Hockney, Kitaj or Blake."”

“I can’t work with computers but I work with someone who can. We talk about what the subjects will be and then I get a load of images about Liverpool. We then scan them and put them on a disk and then we manipulate them on the computer. I am treating them as posters. They are prints but I want them to look like posters.”

“Art in Britain is in a very healthy state. The artists of my generation and older are at their best — people like Howard Hodgkin and Frank Auerbach. The YBAs are still very strong, and it's exciting to wonder what the next generation will bring.”

“I say to people I'm in my late period. Obviously, as you get older you're in your late period anyway, but to decide you are becomes a concept. It's related to the concept of my retirement, which was about the fact that I'd shown at the greatest gallery in the world and I'd never top that… So, I retired from the jealousy of other artists, and ambition. I could alternatively have become a Buddhist or something — it is a kind of beatific state.”
