Richard Hamilton (1922- 2011), one of the faces of British art. He was the promoter of pop art. He began working in the advertising industry and later draftsman. After a twist of fate, he exhibited his first solo show in 1950. Influenced by Cézanne, cubism, futurism and chronography, he began his journey through movement and perspective. Industrial design is an element difficult to explain what it is today known as pop art.

It is the art of great graphic designs, which can be disc covers or advertising posters. This new technique fused popular culture with the aesthetics of art. Thus was born the pop art and all its slopes. To elevate to the category of the work, the everyday objects with which the people of a foot identify itself feels. The myths, a resource that came a lot and opened the door for others like Warhol to expand in a free and creative.
