Sir Peter Blake Signed Limited Edition Print Gettin in Over My Head

Description

Gettin in Over My Head, 2010 – This is a limited edition silkscreen print of Peter Blakes 2004 album cover for Brian Wilsons seventh solo album Gettin In Over My Head. The
work combines Blakes skills as a creator of album artwork with his
personal devotion to the music of Brian Wilson (the Beach Boys are one
of Peter Blakes favourite pop bands and were the subject of a
screenprint by him in 1964).The image features a collage of Wilson
(reminiscent of the images of Paul Weller that Blake used in the album
cover for Stanley Road), against a movie set-like 1950s vision of
an American city. Blake has created an image montage inspired by each
of the tracks on the album and hand-written the name of the track next
to it, his choice of imagery highlights the diversity of his visual
influences from sentimental Victorian angels and pop art geometric
stripes to mediaeval knights and Gatsby-like eyes watching over the
scene.
