World Tour: Paris, Duel Giant Pig, 2010
World Tour: Paris- Duel, Giant Pig is a signed, limited edition 24 colour silkscreen print with glosses and glazes by British pop art legend Sir Peter Blake. Available individually or as part of the set of ten World Tour images.
In this the most bizarre and appealing of all the World Tour images, Blake juxtaposes the Arc de Triomphe and a giant pig. Both can be seen as symbols of France; the Arc representing France's history and culture, the pig representing the French art of gastronomy. In front of the pig are placed a seemingly disparate group of people that are in fact linked by a theme of childhood innocence, or the loss of it. The pair of duellists face each other, one armed with a musket, the other raising his hand in the shape of a gun- reminiscent of childhood games. This sentiment is reinforced by the group of young boys that shadow the combative pair. In the foreground is Alexandre Dumas' man in the iron mask; a political prisoner ripped away from his mother as a baby, the poignancy of this reinforced by the proximity of the mother and child on the left.
