Description

‘Butterflies II’ by Sir Peter Blake from the Paris Suite (2011). Butterflies have a recurring presence in Blake’s work, inspired equally by his admiration for the work of Damien Hirst (as seen in his solo show ‘Homage 10 x 5’ at Waddington Galleries 2010) and the beauty of the antique butterfly illustrations he finds in his huge collection of printed material.
