Note: In 1969, at the end of a characteristically wine-soaked lunch at Robert Carrier’s London restaurant with the artist Francis Bacon (1909–1992), Hamilton asked Bacon to photograph him against the drapes of the dining room. The first exposure was blurry from Bacon’s tipsy handling of the Polaroid, but Hamilton found the image to have an affinity with Bacon’s distinctive style of painting. Working with oil on collotype copies of that portrait, Hamilton produced seven studies from which Bacon was to select his favorite. He chose the seventh study in which Hamilton had covered the blurred curtains with a particularly Bacon-esque violet.
This print is a combination of collotype and screenprint. The collotype process involved the artist drawing the design for each colour to be printed onto separate plastic sheets; the image then being photographically transferred onto the glass plates for printing.
The Revolutionary Nature of Richard Hamilton’s Final Design was in its Utter Simplicity.
Where do you go after your last album cover broke all the rules in terms of creativity and cost? In the wake of the groundbreaking sleeve design for Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles turned once again to gallery owner and Pop Art devotee Robert Fraser.
As the person who had introduced the group to Sgt. Peppers designers Peter Blake and Jann Haworth, Fraser had just the man for the next Beatles project, Richard Hamilton. By the 1960s, Hamilton was showing with Robert Fraser, who was arguably one of the most influential gallerists of his era.
