Richard Hamilton - Modern Moral Matters

The Observer“Hamilton has produced some of the most potent images of our times...” What the work has is true staying power: sufficient force as images to keep some of the most catastrophic episodes of modern history alive. Hamilton, now in his late 80s, continues to find ways of keeping it before our eyes...

The Independent“You wouldn't call the focus exactly moral; more political...” Political art is a very difficult genre. It's way out of Hamilton's register, which is really comedy – as once, a long time ago now, he seemed to know…

Financial Times“No political art today can match Hamilton in the 1960s…” Young British Art, even at its angriest, looks child’s-play by comparison…Yet the second part of this show droops with the tired, repetitive formulae of an ageing rebel still chattering revolutionary language when battles have moved on…

this is london“A narrowly focused show that is brave and occasionally foolhardy...” You leave this exhibition with the creeping feeling that you haven’t quite seen enough, and wondering why Hamilton produced so few political pictures. There isn’t a body of work here to rival a political artist such as Barbara Kruger...

The Times“A restlessly inventive talent...” Hamilton is a master of the collage. The deeper the layers go, the more thought provoking. His work moves from the specific reference to the wider historical message and the profounder philosophical point...

Guardian“Hamilton's eye is ever cool...” Hamilton's eye is ever cool, his engagement with his media complex. But is his subject war, or the abduction and solitary confinement of Vanunu, or is it art itself, and the place art has in culture, its ineffectuality as agit-prop?...
