Richard Hamilton was one of the founders of Pop Art, and instrumental in defining its objectives and ethos. His innovative visual combinations in the 1950s encapsulated the dynamic energy of emerging technologies like television, vacuum, and radio. Hamilton described Pop Art as popular, transient, low-cost, mass-produced, young, witty, sexy, glamorous, gimmicky, and representative of Big Business. Despite Andy Warhol being more well-known, it was Hamilton who laid Pop Art's foundation and outlined its principles.
