Richard Hamilton is dead

Richard Hamilton, often described as the "father of pop art" has died, aged 89. He was in the midst of preparing for a major retrospective - always renowned as a hard worker, he was still going strong. Although a number of his works have stood out for me, his cover for the Beatles' White Album will always be my personal favorite. His painting of Mick Jagger's arrest is above.
