FMP Richard Hamilton

After the change of concept I had visited the Richard Hamilton exhibition, I had come across his self portrait 05.3.81 which had inspired me because it related to my concept. Hamilton had painted a picture of him self which seem to have a film over it and a impasto paint covering a part of his face. Firstly it looks as if his was trying to mask a his body language through his facial features or try to emphasis another emotion or bring attention to this emotion. What interested me about this piece that it caught my attention by the color of the paint it hid what the photo was trying to share but instead it was covered. it kept me guessing or imagine they are trapped by this paint trying to get out.It hides away some of the body language and part of facial expression which i think i would like to use within my work.
