The Beatles 1962
Peter Blake (born 1932)
Pallant House Gallery
1963-1968
Blake described this work as 'a large conversation piece of the Liverpool song group the Beatles'. The work mimics the vagaries of the print process with its coloured auras which can happen in print through mis-registration. The work is also a response to the design of record sleeves and fan magazines from the early 1960s. Part of the Wilson gift of 679 works.
