feb 13, 1956 - Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?
Description:
Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing? is the title of a 1956 collage by British artist Richard Hamilton, considered a foundational work of Pop Art. The collage is a commentary on post-war consumer culture, depicting a modern living room filled with images of consumer products, media, and idealized figures like a bodybuilder and a nude model. It challenged the elitism of traditional art by using everyday materials and mass media to critique the growing commodification of life and desires of the time.Added to timeline:
