Description
Richard Hamilton: Introspective is a companion piece to the 2003 publication Retrospective, a catalogue raisonné that reproduced images without commentary. Conceived by Richard Hamilton during a period of reduced mobility due to a broken hip, this book was left unfinished at the time of his death in 2011 and published as he intended it to be. Hamilton's life and work spanned multiple artistic movements, including pop art. His early works, such as Man, Machine and Motion (1955) and Just What Is it That Makes Today's Home So Different, So Appealing? (1956), are often cited as among the earliest examples of this style. The book also reveals Hamilton's later work and his teaching career at his alma mater. The book provides a unique insight into Hamilton's artistic trajectory and is published in its original form, with blank pages and pagination as intended by the artist.
