Richard Hamilton, English pop artist, has died
September 13, 2011
He was 89.
Hamilton was the cornerstone of the movement, a mentor of David Hockney and Peter Blake.
His 1956 collage Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing? was the first Pop Art work from Britain to win international recognition. It hangs now in Tübingen, Germany.
Richard Hamilton was an opponent of Thatcherite economics and of wars, like Tony Blair‘s war in Iraq, and showed that opposition in his work. See also here. And here.
