‘J is for James Dean’ 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 piece features American actor James Dean, continuing his career which finds fascination in the stars of mass culture – a key element of Pop Art. ‘J is for James Dean’ is signed and numbered by the artist.
