Richard Hamilton: the High priest of Hyper-modernity. His style, a cornerstone of British Pop Art, is characterized by its:
- Collage and Assemblage: Combining magazine cutouts, product packaging, and advertising imagery into thought-provoking compositions.
- Focus on Consumer Culture: Critically examining and celebrating the seductive power of advertising, mass media, and everyday objects.
- Technological Obsession: Exploring the impact of new technologies on society and art.
- Irony and Wit: A playful and subversive approach to high art traditions.
- Juxtaposition: Intentionally creating discord and tension between different visual elements.
Hamilton's work wasn't just about pretty pictures; it was about holding a mirror up to the rapidly changing, consumer-driven world.
