About the Author:
Peter Blake was a pioneer of the Pop Art movement in the UK in the 1950s and ’60s. His interest in and appropriation of popular culture, as seen in his portraits of movie and pop stars and his re-creations of commercial packaging, predated Warhol. With his design for the album cover of the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and other works, he helped create a British Pop aesthetic that defined an era. He continues to work today, and generations of artists have cited him as an influence.
From School Library Journal:
K Up—Pop-artist Blake has organized an alphabet book using items from his personal collection of antique toys and other objects, including letters. An author's note mentions that he aims to offer children a book that does not talk down to them. Words like "Gnome," "Knots," and "Xmas" are found along with more traditional choices such as "Apple" and "Cat." Each spread reveals a letter with a phrase underneath ("A is for Apple") and a color photograph opposite. British influence appears with "Queen" and a bust of Elizabeth II, and "Union Jack" and a detail of the British flag. Think of this book as an ABC for young artists and nostalgic adults.—Lisa Glasscock, Columbine Public Library, Littleton, CO
