artist for poster thing

Richard Hamilton (1922-2011)
Works with collage, using existing works for his own
He seems to take his ideas for his work from the world around him - much of his work is a social comment
His work is inspirational because he was one of the first of his kind. Pop Art (the art form he used) was very new at the time he started using it. That and the social context
The picture uses images from other places, put together to make a room. The room has been arranged show both a comfortable room, but also a highly consumerist room.
The whole picture is a feature, but the people stand out most because a) they are black-and-white while the rest of room is colour. The artist has made a spiral effect to the picture so the eye moves around like that

Ideas from his work:
collage
colour, mixed with black-and-white

constraints: not use too much - make everything thing important.
