Richard Hamilton

Angebote / Angebote:

One of the defining paintings of British Pop art, Richard Hamilton¿s Swingeing London 67 (f) depicts two men--Mick Jagger and Hamilton¿s art dealer Robert Fraser--handcuffed together in the back of a police van. The image is taken from a newspaper photograph that shows the two being driven from Lewes prison to Chichester Magistrates Court following their June 1967 arrest for possession of drugs. The title is a clever and bitter play on words, conflating the "swinging" of 1960s-era London with the "swingeing" (to swinge is to beat or scourge) punishment meted out to new cultural heroes by the law. Hamilton¿s painting is far from reportage, it portrays the historical clash of cultures between Pop and the establishment.
