Richard Hamilton (born February 24, 1922 - Present)


In 1956 the word pop appeared in art for the first time, this was in British Richard Hamiltons work.
Richard believed that its not about the final art piece but about the process in order to produce the work.
Richard Hamilton made his artwork into a movie for advertisement.
Richard first made it big as a pop artist with his collage titled Just What Is It that Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing? which was produced for the This is Tomorrow exhibition.
Richard also had a piece of artwork called 'The critics laugh' which was his take on pop art.
Richard Hamiltons works were paintings and collages and mainly contained commercial materials.
