Flower Piece I 1994

Richard Hamilton's "Flower Piece I" (1994) is a playful and witty take on the traditional still life. The artwork depicts a bowl of fruit, a roll of Andrex toilet paper, and a background of stylized flowers. It is a prime example of Pop Art, referencing both popular culture and art history. The inclusion of a mundane consumer product like toilet paper adds a humorous and subversive element, challenging traditional notions of artistic subject matter. Hamilton's signature style, characterized by vibrant colors and flat planes, further emphasizes the graphic and illustrative nature of the piece.
