Much of Blake’s work is influenced by popular culture and entertainment, combining images of film actors, pop stars and strippers with words and throw-away consumer products. This print refers to professional show wrestling. In the 1970s Blake created a series of images of wrestlers, real and fictitious, some of which are in the Museum’s print collection (Museum nos. E.359, 360 and 361: 1974). \r\n\r\nBlake often worked in painting or collage, but this print is made with the more traditional technique of wood engraving. This combined with the modern subject matter creates a tension between old and new, the worlds of long-established printmaking and trashy late 20th-century pop culture.","physicalDescription":"Print showing a small man, wearing a hat and an overcoat, looking up at a taller man who can be seen from the waist down.
