Hamilton gave a 1959 lecture, "Glorious Technicolor, Breathtaking Cinemascope and Stereophonic Sound", a phrase taken from a Cole Porter lyric in the 1957 musical Silk Stockings. Ferry repaid the compliment, naming him in 2010 as the living person he most admired, saying "he greatly influenced my ways of seeing art and the world". He described Ferry as "his greatest creation". Hamilton's influence can be found in the visual styling and approach of Roxy Music. Among the students Hamilton tutored at Newcastle in this period were Rita Donagh, Mark Lancaster, Tim Head, Roxy Music founder Bryan Ferry and Ferry's visual collaborator Nicholas de Ville. It was also through Penrose that Hamilton met Victor Pasmore who gave him a teaching post in the Fine Art Department of Durham University at Newcastle upon Tyne, which lasted until 1966. At the ICA, Hamilton was responsible for the design and installation of a number of exhibitions including one on James Joyce and The Wonder and the Horror of the Human Head that was curated by Penrose. Also in 1952, he was introduced to the Green Box notes of Marcel Duchamp through Roland Penrose, whom Hamilton had met at the ICA. In 1952, at the first Independent Group meeting, held at the ICA, Hamilton was introduced to Eduardo Paolozzi's seminal presentation of collages produced in the late 1940s and early 1950s that are now considered to be the first standard bearers of Pop Art. A pioneering form of installation art, it featured scientific models, diagrams and photographs presented as a unified artwork. In 1951, Hamilton staged an exhibition called Growth and Form at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.

Hamilton's early work was much influenced by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson's 1917 text On Growth and Form. He taught at the Central School of Art and Design from 1952 until 1966. After two years at the Slade School of Art, University College London, Hamilton began exhibiting his work at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), where he also produced posters and leaflets. Loss of his student status forced Hamilton to carry out National Service. Īfter spending World War II working as a technical draftsman, he re-enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools but was expelled in 1946 on grounds of "not profiting from the instruction". In 1938, he enrolled in the Royal Academy of Arts. Despite having left school with no formal qualifications, he managed to gain employment as an apprentice working at an electrical components firm, where he discovered an ability for draughtsmanship and began to do painting at evening classes at Saint Martin's School of Art and at the Westminster School of Art. On that front, Thompson likely has both men faded.Hamilton was born in Pimlico, London on 24 February 1922. I wonder if PJ or Hamilton have any Antas in their collection. However, Hamilton says Tucker’s collection of Jordans doesn’t compare to his–especially when it comes to PEs. Hamilton says Tucker’s collection is probably larger because he has shoes from several brands. Because Hamilton is a known sneakerhead, I asked him to compare his collection to another NBA player whose shoes are among the most voluminous, the Miami Heat PJ Tucker. His connection with Michael Jordan has afforded him access to some of the most rare Jordans and colorways in existence. Hamilton has been with Jordan Brand since his rookie season in the NBA. That’s part of the draw for him to work with ebay on their Hard-to-Find Gift Shoppe concept. Hamilton and I also discussed his shoe collections. Richard Hamilton’s Shoe Collection is Serious He gets better every day, every week, so I’m excited to see the next step he takes.” So I’m excited to see him get back on the court. You can still tell that he’s got work to do, and he’s been working hard, he looks good, he looks like an NBA player, he looks like a top-notch athlete already. Especially for someone who had been out that long.

Thompson’s teammate Kevon Looney talked up Thompson’s return to practice.
