Bob Peak's Lucille Ball, TV guide cover is a seminal work. With its stylized design and use of punchy color, this work constitutes a powerfully innovative painting and perhaps a quintessential example of Mod. It sums up the style that defined the"Mod" Era. Mod was a subculture that began in London and spread throughout the world. It's a Happening! Bob Peak "Does his own thing" in the late 1960s with a psychedelic look. Bold and graphic day-glow-like colors are displayed in this "Groovy" work by one of America's great post-war illustrators. Lucille Ball's striking resemblance is captured in a triple portrait with twisting, curving and undulating flat patterns. It's set against a TV screen, "Test Pattern," that doubles as a hallucinatory background. br Bob Peak was the father of the American Movie Poster. Peak has worked on. West Side Story, Rollerball, Star Trek, Superman, Excalibur, Apocalypse Now, The Spy Who Loved Me. My Fair Lady, Camelot and Enter the Dragon. As with many of his works, Peak uses collage elements to construct this work.
