'Paris- The Kiss' - A signed, limited edition silkscreen print by Sir Peter Blake. Available individually or as part of the Paris Suite portfolio box set.
Blake’s mischievous sense of humour comes to the fore. The romantic kissing couple are flanked on the one-side by nineteenth century British Prime Minister Disraeli, and on the other by a lovelorn classical figure. Keenly observing the embrace is a perculiar old man, sharing his glee with a rabble of teenage ragamuffins who are at once fascinated and disgusted. In the middleground a witch, a bacchic nymph and an eastern European dancing troupe appear on the scene to celebrate the moment.
