The grandfather of British Pop Art, Sir Peter Blake is one of most influential and popular artists of his generation. A Royal Academician with work in the national collection, including Tate and the National Portrait Gallery, he is renowned for paintings and collages that borrow imagery from advertising, cinema and music. Having created The Beatles' Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band sleeve in 1967 he became the go-to album designer for other musical artists including The Who, Paul Weller, Madness and Oasis. He was knighted for services to art in 2002.Sir Peter tells John Wilson how, after a working class upbringing in Dartford, Kent, he won a place at the Royal College of Art alongside fellow students Bridget Riley and Frank Auerbach. He recalls being influenced by early American pop artists including Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, and how he began making art inspired by everyday popular imagery. He chooses Dylan Thomas's 1954 radio play Under Milk Wood as a work which captivated his imagination and later inspired a series of his artworks based on the characters, and also cites Max Miller, the music hall artist known as 'the Cheeky Chappie'; as a creative influence. Sir Peter remembers how he made the iconic Sgt Pepper sleeve using waxwork dummies and life size cut-out figures depicting well-known people chosen by Peter and The Beatles themselves.

In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Julie Bennett (@Julie_Bennett)Julie Bennett is a portrait painter living and working in London. Her bold, unapologetically confident portraits appropriate pop culture icons from the music industry and art world, creating contemporary homages to the likes of David Bowie, Elvis, Frida Kahlo, Boy George, Patti Smith, and Her Majesty The Queen.Defined as British Pop Art, her dripping wet, vibrant, colourful broad-brush marks give the appearance of canvases being fresh out of the studio. Working mostly in oil, led by the paint, she tries to capture the emotional charge of the individual, creating an iconic work of art.Bennett studied painting at Camberwell College of Arts where she crafted and explored the use of mark-making to convey her fascination with the human face and the immediacy of her paint handling.Bennett is driven by her lifelong obsession with music and art, spending her teenage years working at a record shop and after graduation, working as a graphic designer at some of the top UK music and celebrity magazines, She is a genuine fan of many of the celebrities she paints.Text taken from: https://www.degreeart.com/artists/julie-bennettFor more information on the work of Julie Bennett go to: https://www.juliebennett.co.ukTo Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofartsIf you would like to promote your work, exhibition or any other creative project, please contact us at:Social Media: @ministryofartsorgEmail: ministryofartsorg@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

The sixth episode of Making a Mark explores the life and work of one of Britain's most important living artists, Joe Tilson (b. 1928), and the continued centrality of printmaking to his practice. As a lifelong dedicated and subversive printmaker, we meet Tilson in his London studio on the eve of his 94th birthday, to discuss the preoccupations, inspirations, philosophy, and methods, that have been the focus of his graphic works for over half a century.  From prints made in the 1960s by Tilson, then an exponent of British Pop Art, to new hand-coloured editions, inspired by cultural history, we explore how Tilson continues to defy and challenge the rule book of printmaking.     Contributors include gallery founder and director Alan Cristea, who has worked with Tilson since 1969; interior designer, founder and creative director of Firmdale Hotels, Kit Kemp, who collects Tilson's prints and art historian, writer and curator Marco Livingstone, who has authored a new biography about Tilson, launching in May 2023.    Presented by writer and critic, Charlotte Mullins. This podcast episode coincides with the exhibition Joe Tilson: Breaking the Rules at Cristea Roberts Gallery (28 April – 17 June 2023). Making a Mark is a podcast by Cristea Roberts Gallery exploring the relationship between artists and printmaking.⁠ Artworks discussed in the episode can be viewed online via https://cristearoberts.com/podcast/   #joetilson #printmaking #silkscreen #screenprint #worksonpaper #workonpaper #painting #popart #britishpopart #britishart #britishartists #modernbritishart #contemporaryart

This week,  Sadie introduces us to the only known female artist (and founder) of the British pop art movement - Pauline Boty. Despite being a woman in a man's world, Boty was never afraid to express her femininity, and sexuality and became a true icon of 1970s feminism. Despite early childhood disapproval of her stepping outside the gender norms (painting was a very masculine career), she went on to become a major player in the British art scene and make a lasting impact despite her tragic and early death.Episodes to check out after this one: A Brief History of Western Feminism, Want to check out some of our favorite books?

Bryan Ferry nació el 26 de septiembre de 1945 en Washington, condado de Durham, Inglaterra (Reino Unido). Hijo de Fred Ferry, un trabajador agrícola que también cuidaba ponis, Bryan estudió Bellas Artes en la Universidad de Newcastle y se convirtió en profesor de cerámica en Londres, hasta que encontró su verdadera vocación: la música.1​ Inició su carrera musical en su época universitaria como cantante en el conjunto de rock The Banshees, conoció a Richard Hamilton, artista y gurú que fundaría posteriormente el movimiento "British Pop Art", el cual, le inspiró e influenció en su visión musical. Posteriormente se incorporó a The City Blues y luego a Gas Board, un grupo soul junto a Graham Simpson y John Porter, con quien a fines de 1970 forma Roxy Music junto con otros amigos.El nacimiento de Roxy MusicLa formación del grupo Roxy Music en 1970 comenzó en su época de estudiante de arte obsesionado por todo aquello que tuviese que ver con belleza ideal, se anunció en el periódico: “Se busca teclista con la intención de formar un grupo, yo soy cantante y pianista”. ...recibiendo una respuesta inmediata: “Me llamo Andy McKay y no soy teclista toco el saxo y el oboe pero tengo un sintetizador y conozco quien puede tocarlo” Esa persona a quien Andy se refería era nada más y menos que Brian Peter de la Salle Eno, más conocido como Eno o posteriormente Brian Eno.Luego se integró Paul Thompson, el batería, quien era amigo de Bryan. El grupo se completó definitivamente con un guitarrista que ya se había presentado varias veces para que lo dejaran integrarse sin éxito, y por insistente, finalmente consiguió entrar y se desveló como un gran talento, se trataba de Phil Manzanera.El grupo Roxy Music se formó, además de por Bryan Ferry, por Graham Simpson, Andy Mackay, Brian Eno, David O'List, y Phil Manzanera logrando ser uno de los grupos más eclécticos e innovadores de la historia de la música; unos tipos con un cantante y pianista que parecen sacados del casting de película Casablanca, un saxofonista con tupé y pelo largo embutido en traje espacial, un guitarrista con gafas de avispa, un teclista que juega a la ambigüedad y un batería con pinta de heavy formaron probablemente el grupo más influyente en esa década.El primer éxito del grupo fue la canción "Virginia Plain". A este tema le siguieron muchos más. Muchos de los álbumes de la agrupación causaron sensación gracias a la voz de Bryan Ferry y a la contribución de Eno en sintetizadores.Después de lanzar dos producciones, Eno deja Roxy Music. De esta manera Bryan Ferry se convierte en el líder del conjunto. Para ese entonces, Ferry inicia una relación sentimental con la modelo Jerry Hall (quien apareció en algunos videos musicales del grupo en temas como "Let's Stick Together" y "The Price of Love", así como en la carátula del disco “Siren”). Los aspectos más destacados incluyen viejos éxitos como "River of Salt" de Ketty Lester, una alegre lectura de Elvis Presley en "Baby I Don't Care" y un notable éxito en la versión de Bob Dylan, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall.Inicios de la carrera en solitario de Bryan FerryTras la gira promocional del álbum “Siren”, Roxy Music se separó temporalmente en 1976. Bryan Ferry comenzó su carrera como solista unos años antes, en 1973, debutando con el álbum “These Foolish Things” y un año más tarde “Another Time, Another Place”. En 1976 aparece el disco “Let's Stick Together” y cantó el tema de los Beatles, “She's Leaving Home”, para el documental “All This and World War II”.No fue hasta 1977 que finalmente Bryan Ferry compuso un álbum de canciones para un trabajo en solitario, grabando "In You Mind" con un par de éxitos como "This is tomorrow" y "Tokyo Joe". Esa misma primavera, Ferry aparecido en la banda sonora de "All This y World War II", cantando "She´s leaving home" de Los Beatles. Al año siguiente, se retiró a Montreux para completar el muy logrado "The Bride Stripped Bare" en --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radioflowok/message

In episode 64 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews the acclaimed writer ALI SMITH (!!!!) on Pauline Boty, Barbara Hepworth, Tacita Dean and Lorenza Mazzetti !!!! [This episode is brought to you by Alighieri jewellery: www.alighieri.co.uk | use the code TGWA at checkout for 10% off!] The FINAL episode of Season 5 of the GWA Podcast, we speak to one of the GREATEST authors and writers in the world, Ali Smith, about the artists who act as the 'spine' for her recently-completed series of four stand-alone novels, grouped as the Seasonal Quartet: Pauline Boty in Autumn, Barbara Hepworth in Winter, Tacita Dean in Spring, and filmmaker Lorenza Mazetti in Summer, who in their own way, as presences as people, spirits, or their work, interweave into each story so beautifully.  Written in the space of four years, between 2016–2020, these books track and are witness to, some of the most unprecedented, and extraordinary events in living history. Beginning with Autumn, known as the first-Brexit novel, the final book in the series, Summer, was written in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. Born in Inverness, Scotland, and now based in Cambridge, Ali Smith is acclaimed for her fictional work, and non-fiction writing on some of my favourite artists. The author of Public library and other stories, How to be both, Shire, Artful, and MANY OTHERS, Smith has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize, the Orange Prize, The Man Booker Prize, and has won the Bailey's Prize, the Goldsmiths Prize and the Costa Novel of the Year Award for her brilliant novel, How To Be Both. PAULINE BOTY – AUTUMN One of the most important artists to change the face of British Pop Art (as well as being an Actress, TV star, radio commentator, who read Proust) Pauline Boty EPITOMISED the possibilities of the modern Pop woman. She captured the glamour and vivacity of the 1960s, including those of music stars to film icons, think Marylin to Elvis, Boty worshipped the proliferation of imagery available in the post-War era.  BARBARA HEPWORTH – WINTER The Titan of British sculpture, Hepworth set up a studio in St Ives during World War II, and is hailed for her small-to-colossal hand-carved wooden sculptures. Cast in stone and bronze, sometimes embedded with strings or flashes of colour, and  fluctuating between hard and soft, light and dark, round and straight, solid and hollow, the spirit of Hepworth's work is at the spine of Spring and through Ali's incredible writing makes us SEE differently.  TACITA DEAN – SPRING Filmmaker and artist, Dean, seven-metre-wide work The Montafon Letter is a vast chalk drawing on nine blackboards joined together, looms in Spring (and is also an exhibition visited by the protagonist Richard at the Royal Academy). Dean says in some ways the work about Brexit and about hope; “hope that the last avalanche will uncover us”. Much like Smith's post-Brexit novels.  LORENZA MAZZETTI – SUMMER A new artist for me, this story of the Italian-born filmmaker who came of age in the 1960s is one of the most profound in the history of art. I am not going to tell you anything else other than listen to Ali tell her story.  LINKS TO ALI'S BOOKS! https://www.waterstones.com/book/autumn/ali-smith/9780241973318 https://www.waterstones.com/book/winter/ali-smith/9780241973332 https://www.waterstones.com/book/spring/ali-smith/9780241973356 https://www.waterstones.com/book/summer/ali-smith/9780241973370 We also discuss How To Be Both at the very start! https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-be-both/ali-smith/9780141025209 LISTEN NOW + ENJOY!!!

In episode 55 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews Dr Sue Tate on the incredible British Pop Artist, PAULINE BOTY !!!!!!!! [This episode is brought to you by Alighieri jewellery: www.alighieri.co.uk | use the code TGWA at checkout for 10% off!] One of the most important artists to change the face of British Pop Art (as well as being an Actress, TV star, radio commentator, a blonde who read Proust) Boty EPITOMISED the possibilities of the modern Pop woman. Known for capturing the glamour and vivacity of the 1960s, including those of music stars to film icons, think Marylin to Elvis, Boty worshipped the proliferation of imagery available in the post-War era. Born in Croydon in 1938, Boty studied stained glass at the Royal College of Art (when it was not deemed necessary to include female loos in the school), before going onto painting, and thrived. Translating the energy of contemporary life onto her flat-paned and bold early-mid 60s canvases, it was with warmth, mischief, humour, and fun, that Boty portrayed film stars to music icons that didn’t just explore the potential of the proliferated image, but captured them from a distinct and female point of view. “It’s almost like painting mythology, a present-day mythology – film stars, etc. The 20th-century gods and goddesses. People need them, and the myths that surround them, because their own lives are enriched by them. Pop art colours those myths.” A true great whose paintings – and personality – reflected, challenged, and emulated the time, Boty's life was sadly cut short aged 28 by cancer, in the summer of 1966, five months after giving birth. But it is through the vibrancy of her electric work that keeps the spirit of her soul alive. And my god does this story break my heart.  Dr Sue Tate is THE leading expert in Boty's life and work. Without sue’s work, conducting important primary research starting in the early 90s when Boty was barely known, in 1998 co-curating, for two London Galleries, the first solo show of Boty’s work in the UK for 35 years, In 2013 curating a major retrospective of Boty’s work at Wolverhampton Art Gallery, that toured to Pallent House Chichester and to Lodz, Poland, and authored the brilliant accompanying book Pauline Boty Pop Artist and Woman, we would not know about this brilliant, important and formative artist.  ENJOY!!!

An official “super-complaint” is to be launched and central to that are at least 12 cases where women have made allegations of domestic abuse and sexual violence against an officer, only for the case to be dropped and, on occasion, for the alleged victim to be arrested and intimidated. We’ll hear from Harriet Wistrich lawyer and founding director of the Centre for Women’s Justice who are bringing the complaint and two female Police officers, one serving and one former, who are bringing a claim against Gwent Police.

Peter Blake is recognised as one of the founders of British Pop Art and today continues to make work that spans media including collage, sculpture, printmaking, as well as commercial art in the form of graphics and, notably, album covers. He was recently included in the Barbican’s exhibition 'Magnificent Obsessions: The Artist as Collector' and has created an artistic style that undoubtedly parallels Joseph Cornell’s own. During this event we find out why Cornell’s work has made such an impact on Blake’s own approach to art and what motivated him to create a series of direct homages to work by Joseph Cornell.
