This painting was made in 1956, and the bottom blue and red section overpainted later in 1963. In 1961, Blow became a tutor at the Royal College of Art. These added stripes are an interesting development in Blow's work, and are reminiscent of the Pop paintings produced by Royal College graduates David Hockney and Allen Jones in 1961-2, and the medal inspired textiles of Zandra Rhodes.
