School project inspired by the designer Alan Fletcher. The publication contains two distinct parts.
The main one – Fletcher Blake Tilson – reflects the influence of Pop Art movement in the work of Alan Fletcher, Peter Blake and Joe Tilson. In the 50s, the Royal College of Art in England, went to a series of artistics transformations in the postwar period influenced by the enthusiastic values that came from the american mass pop culture.The modernist language was put aside and the icons and symbols of advertising, cinema and mass culture entered in the new pop artist's world. The work of Fletcher, Blake and Tilson reflects the experimental practices and techniques gained in the school. The frontiers of art and design were never the same.

"the general character of Royal College Pop...was free-wheeling and hedonistic... What came out of the College between 1959 and 1962 was a contribution to the idea of an England at last recovered from the lethargy of the immediate post-war period. In some of its aspects, English Pop was painterly, anecdotal, diffuse, jokey, deliberately unfocused: all things which delighted a public that has enough of low-spirited English representational painting”
John Russell, Pop Art Redefined, 1969
 

 

The smaller part of the publication – Drawing Thoughts – is entirely focused in Alan Fletcher's expressive handwriting.
