Peter Blake's enduring interest in English folk traditions and social gatherings inspired 'Party (Sing Song)'. Here, his pop art aesthetic draws from his extensive visual vocabulary and interest in Victorian sensibilities, creating a composition that traverses historical and contemporary cultural elements.
Created during a period when Blake was exploring themes of Victorian culture and fairy paintings, the work relates to his broader interest in English folk art and popular culture ephemera. The piece showcases Blake's distinctive ability to create nostalgic yet contemporary narratives while representing his status as a pivotal figure in British Pop Art who has consistently bridged high art and popular culture.
