Richard Hamilton - Father of Pop Art

Richard Hamilton (1922 - 2011)

"Pop Art is: popular, transient, expendable, low-cost, mass-produced, young, witty, sexy, gimmicky, glamorous, and Big Business"

(Hamilton's definition of Pop Art from a letter to Alison and Peter Smithson dated 16 January 1957)

Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?
