Richard Hamilton

Richard Hamilton was an English painter, printmaker and collagist often called the father of Pop Art. A member of the Independent Group in London, he made the small collage Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing? for the This Is Tomorrow exhibition in 1956. He went on to paint consumer goods and celebrity, made the Swingeing London prints of Mick Jagger under arrest, and designed the cover of the Beatles’ White Album. Tate holds a large body of his work, including Hommage à Chrysler Corp and Swingeing London 67.
