DiaporamaFour Self-Portraits 05.3.81
richard hamilton (1922 – 2011)
Discover Richard Hamilton: Pop Art pioneer known for 'Just What Is It?' & iconic collages. Explore his influential work on consumerism, modern life, & art history.
‘Four Self-Portraits 05.3.81’ takes portraiture as its starting point, using new media to expand its boundaries. Instead of limiting the portrait to a single image, Hamilton uses four. In the early 1980s, the artist took Polaroids of himself and added layers of acrylic colour. After ten years, he digitally converted the photos into transparencies to be made into enlarged prints. Mounted on canvas, they epitomize the layered way in which Hamilton’s works deal with artistic media.
