“日说”141 Richard Hamilton 理查德·汉密尔顿

Richard Hamilton, CH (born 24 February 1922) is an English painter and collage artist. His 1956 collage titled Just What Is It that Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing?, produced for the This Is Tomorrow exhibition of the Independent Group in London, is considered by critics and historians to be one of the early works of Pop Art.

Richard Hamilton grew up in the Pimlico area of London. Having left school with no formal qualifications Hamilton got work as an apprentice working at an electrical components firm. Here he discovered an ability for draughtsmanship and began to do painting at evening classes at St Martin’s School of Art which eventually led to his entry into the Royal Academy Schools. After spending the war working as a technical draftsman he re-enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools but was later expelled on grounds of “not profiting from the instruction”, loss of his student status forcing Hamilton to carry out National Service.

After two years at the Slade School of Art, University College, London, Richard Hamilton began exhibiting at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) where he also produced posters and leaflets and teaching at the Central School of Art and Design.

汉密尔顿 (Richard Hamilton)是世界上最有影响力的当代艺术家之一，波普艺术的领军人物，杜尚的学生，英国最具有影响艺术家之一。他的代表作有“到底是什么使今日的家庭如此非凡迷人”。理查德·汉密尔顿(1922-)出生于英国皮姆利科，作品风格曾受到“达达主义”艺术家杜尚影响。小学毕业后，汉密尔顿便开始从事广告工作，并在多所艺术学校的夜校就读。此后，汉密尔顿长期教授设计课，使他格外注重解决问题的能力，同时也对其绘画生涯产生重要影响。汉密尔顿奠定了波普艺术的创作方法，即通过直接挪用社会生活中的一些形象来创作作品，采用印刷拼贴是他最常用的创作方式。汉密尔顿的艺术观，体现出上世纪50年代伦敦和纽约年轻画家寻求独特时代气质的愿望。

汉密尔顿长久以来一直是杜尚的狂热爱好者；1960年他为杜尚的作品“绿盒子（1934）”中的文字注解出版了一个抄本，1965年他重建了已于1926年被砸成碎片的杜尚作品“大镜子（1915-23）”。但是到这时候他们还没见过面。“那是巴黎的一个午餐聚会，在比尔·科普利家举行的。我以为会是个大聚会，但实际上客人只有我，勒内·马格里特和他妻子，以及杜尚夫妇。那时候我想拿两张5镑的票子放在一起捻一捻都办不到。”杜尚人怎么样？“嗯，他是你能想象到的最具魅力的人物：和气，聪明，妙趣横生。实际上我成了那个家庭的一员。他的妻子提妮喜欢我。我们的关系都非常亲密信任。如果我在巴黎和他们在一起，我就随时随地跟他们形影不离。在第一版‘绿书’发行的时候，杜尚给我写了一封我收到过的最美的信。‘你对爱付出的辛劳展现出了一种巨大的真诚’，信里这样写到。”[自重啊！你们]
