Nele, as personagens estão sentadas em um banco de jardim e rodeadas por obras de arte, que fazem referência a quatro quadros que foram produzidos por alunos de Blake, além de objetos de consumo descartáveis do dia-a-dia da época, como maços de cigarro, uma capa da revista Life, embalagens de alimentos, etc. A composição da obra é simples e sem perspectiva, mas famosa por causar impacto visual direto no espectador, que olhando atualmente pode avaliar a cultura popular dos anos 50. Trata-se de um óleo sobre tela que mede 121,3 cm de altura x 90,8 cm de largura e está exposto na Tate Gallery, em Londres. Wikipedia

“I don’t think artists should be sponsored. You should not rely on grants. You either make a success of your art or you don’t. I worked as an artist for a number of years without making much money – I have never had any financial backing in that way. Things are now very good for me but for a lot of the time things were not.”

Sgt. Pepper's cover

“My dealer was a friend of the Beatles and the Stones, and he suggested they used a fine artist. I talked to the Beatles at length about what the cover would be. I worked out it would show the moment after they had played in a bandstand in the park. My big contribution was the life-size cutouts, the magic crowds.”

“Brian Sewell is a fool. For some years he seemed to have it in for me and Hockney and Kitaj. Even if he wasn't writing about us he'd always find a way of bringing us in. He'd say, "so and so was a bad artist but not as bad as Hockney, Kitaj or Blake."”

“I can’t work with computers but I work with someone who can. We talk about what the subjects will be and then I get a load of images about Liverpool. We then scan them and put them on a disk and then we manipulate them on the computer. I am treating them as posters. They are prints but I want them to look like posters.”

“Art in Britain is in a very healthy state. The artists of my generation and older are at their best — people like Howard Hodgkin and Frank Auerbach. The YBAs are still very strong, and it's exciting to wonder what the next generation will bring.”

“I say to people I'm in my late period. Obviously, as you get older you're in your late period anyway, but to decide you are becomes a concept. It's related to the concept of my retirement, which was about the fact that I'd shown at the greatest gallery in the world and I'd never top that… So, I retired from the jealousy of other artists, and ambition. I could alternatively have become a Buddhist or something — it is a kind of beatific state.”
