About this work

Overview

Untitled (1964) is a screenprint by English artist Richard Hamilton, blending photographic elements and bold colors to create a disorienting interior scene.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a woman in a white dress amidst a cluttered, surreal space with overlapping photos, books, and furniture, critiquing the fragmentation of modern life through its jarring composition.

Technique & Style

Hamilton employed a hybrid technique, combining screenprinted photos with flat, vibrant colors, characteristic of his pop art approach and experimentation with mass media imagery.

History & Provenance

Created in 1964, this work follows Hamilton's seminal *Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?* (1956), further exploring consumer culture and graphic techniques.

Context

Reflecting early pop art's fascination with popular culture and media saturation, *Untitled* aligns with Hamilton's broader critique of modern consumerism and visual overload.
