I’d like to say a few words about Jenny Saville, an English artist. Unfortunately, save for a class of modern art I attended at the university, I am really just a neophyte in this field. Some images, though, don’t need a critical mediation to penetrate under your skin. Because this is what I’m talking about.

Best known for creating the cover to The Beatles album Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band, Peter Blake is, for me at least, one of the most accessible of the pop artists. He is someone else I found through the Pop Art exhibition back in the nineties at the Tate Modern.
