"Many of Hamilton's means of heightening awareness are personal inferences from two obsessions of the London art world of the fifties, a concern with the expression of visual ideas on an environmental scale, and the cinema." -- from the introduction by Richard Morphet.
The work of leading British painter Richard Hamilton is explored in the context of a retrospective exhibition shown in The Tate Gallery during the spring of 1970. A wide range of subject matter denotes Hamilton as more than just an icon of British Pop Art.
