‘O is for Ornithology’ forms part of a set of bold and colourful silkscreen prints produced in 1991, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each print adopts Peter Blake’s typical and unmissable style of working, incorporating ‘found’ imagery from magazines, postcards and popular ephemera. This beautiful piece encompasses an interest of Peter Blake – ‘Ornithology’, the study of birds. ‘O is for Ornithology’ features illustrations of birds and focuses on the pretty and colourful domestic Canaries, featuring a collage of educational postcards that identify each type of bird. ‘O is for Ornithology’ is signed and numbered by the artist.
