Peter Blake redesigned the famous Beatles cover Automatic translate

British pop artist Peter Blake Thomas (1932) made a new cover design for the album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”of the legendary band The Beatles. The cover of this album is considered one of the greatest rock covers.

The cover artwork for this album belongs to art dealer Robert Fraser (Fraser Robert, 1937-1986) and Paul McCartney (Sir James Paul McCartney; 1942), photo by Michael Cooper, designed by Peter Blake and Jann Haworth; 1942).

Blake, who is considered the founder of British pop art, prepared a collage of portraits of more than 70 prominent figures such as Carl Jung, Edgar Allan Poe, Bob Dylan, Oscar Wilde, Marlon Brando, Albert Einstein, Lawrence of Arabia, Fred Astaire, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Karl Marx and others, and in the foreground placed musicians from the Liverpool Four.

According to Blake, in order to create the original cover of the Sergeant Pepper Club of Lonely Hearts, he cut out pieces of photographs and then painted them with his own hands. The new collage was computer, but, as the maestro said, the creation process was also very time-consuming.

A modern version of the cover will be presented to viewers during the Harvest Festival in Northemtanshar County, which runs from July 13-15. So Sir Peter Blake is about to celebrate his 80th birthday on June 25th.
