Richard Hamilton's 'What makes todays homes so different so appealing?’

​Richard Hamilton, born February 24th, 1922, London. He was a well know English artist who was famous for his pop art. He primarily worked with collages with pieces such as Fashion Plate (1969). He once reflected. “Art is made through the sensibilities of an artist, and the kind of ambitions and intelligence, curiosity and inner direction that role requires”.
 
At the age of 16 he entered the Royal Academy but was later expelled for not following the school’s regulations. Richard Hamilton worked as an apprentice at an electrical components firm, this was when he started to begin his art classes at Saint Martin’s School of Art during the evenings. Richard Hamilton had completed his first major college work in 1956 ‘just what is it that makes today’s homes so different’.
 
Richard Hamilton, who was offered to teach his old alma mater, mentored numbers of students in the late 1950s alongside Peter Blake and David Hockney. During the mid-1960s Richard Hamilton became interested in the work of Marcel Duchamp. Through some mutual friends Richard Hamilton was introduced to Paul McCartney and helped in the produced cover art for The Beatles’ White Album (1968).
 
The following decades Richard Hamilton focused on producing prints and focusing on new technologies such as computer software. Richard Hamilton’s works are held in The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, among others.

​(or should I say inside a Hobbit hole...)
