'Eiffel Tower' - A signed
limited edition silkscreen print by Sir Peter Blake, available
individually or as part of the Paris Quartet set.

Following
the success of the Venice Suite was the release of Blake's Paris
Quartet which includes 'Eiffel Tower', 'Four Man Up', 'Birds', and
'Dancing, Place de la Concorde'. In the same whimsical and comedic style
in which Blake evoked the canals of Venice, in the Paris Quartet he
guides viewers through the city of light. Blake again creates his
compositions through collage, running the full gamut from the delicate
sentimentality of Eiffel Tower to the joyously absurd sight of the Opera
Garnier under the weight of an ornithological overload in 'Birds'.
Blake once again finds inspiration in the pages of his Larousse
illustrated dictionary and animal husbandry manuals; juxtaposing the
best of Parisian architecture with an eclectic selection of human
figures from every conceivable ethnographical background and beautiful
illustrations bird and beast. Though these images are packed full of
unexpected and out of place content, Blake somehow captures the essence
of Paris; that joie de vivre and spirit of bohemisnism and surrealism
that pervades the air.
