The Telegraph
Sir Peter Blake: why i chose Pop over pot.
Blake is the self-proclaimed founding father of Pop Art: his Captain Webb matchbox preceded Andy Warhol's Brillo Pad boxes and Campbell's soup cans, and he was painting comics before Roy Lichenstein, and flags and targets before Jasper Johns. Today he is sporting target cufflinks, as if to make the point. Indeed, he's become something of a mentor to the crop of YBAs who championed - and borrowed - from his work as they emerged in the 1990s, including Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, both of whom are now close friends.
When Blake turned 65 he announced his retirement from "the nasty part of the art world". He says: "It was just a concept, but I retired from jealousy, avarice, spitefulness. It was almost like embracing a new religion."
He gives his silent feud with Warhol as an example of the "nasty part" of art that he was happy to let go. "People have said he was my copycat, but I've never said it.
