Peter Saville on Richard Hamilton from TateShots Issue 16

Peter Saville works as a designer and artist, and is the Creative Director of the City of Manchester. It was in Manchester, while working at Factory Records, that he produced iconic record sleeve designs for bands like Joy Division and New Order. He visited Tate Britain to look at a new display of work by ‘Godfather of Pop art’ Richard Hamilton and told us how one of Hamilton’s works called Toaster became a ‘blueprint’ for his own career.

It`s all magic

Who is Lola Fauve?

[soniccage]

Both did a lot of great work, Warhol's illustrations are fabulous, not to mention his use of colour and compositions (think the Mick Jagger ones) and Lichtenstein has a refreshing take on portraiture.... What isn't so refreshing is the visual interpretations by others

And Hamilton is praised in the pop genre, just not on coffe mats in Target

[andii194]

it has become the corporate branding of pop art, especially worhol with his silkscreen works that everybody so desperately chases jsut for it's fame status.
