Richard Hamilton (RIP)


Pop art and colage was exemplified by the late Richard Hamilton and true to form, the above is his take on self-portraiture. I'm ambivalent towards this form of art as there is so much rubbish masquerading as 'art' However, I do feel most of Hamilton's work is visually intriguing and interesting. I'm a simple man of simple pleasure, I simply like the best that life can provide. No doubt now after his death, his work will attain vast valuations! I first came to know his name when I discovered he was the designer of the Beatles White Album. A true minimalist piece of work if ever there was.

That's It Folks!

  The gate is now shut. With no one around, it's time to turn off the lights and leave. It's been fun and maybe one day someone will...
