Since starting out in the 1950s, Richard Hamilton embraced many different media, including painting, printmaking, installation, typography and industrial design.

Hamilton saw great changes in communication technologies throughout his working life. In 1969 he noted that: “In the Fifties we became more aware of the possibility of seeing the whole world, at once, through the great visual matrix that surrounds us, a synthetic ‘instant’ view. Cinema, television, magazines, newspapers flooded the artist with a total landscape.” Through its fragmentation of images, manipulation of space and reference to different styles and genres, Hamilton’s work interrogates the representations that surround us.
