{"product_id":"mother-and-child-richard-hamilton","title":"Mother and Child - Richard Hamilton","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate watercolour by British artist Richard Hamilton, capturing a tender, domestic moment between a mother and her child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Hamilton, a central figure in the development of British Pop Art, is often associated with collage and printmaking techniques that incorporate mass-media imagery. This watercolour, titled Mother and Child, represents a departure from his more clinical, technology-focused works. It demonstrates his technical facility with a medium that allows for transparency and fluid application of pigment. The composition captures a domestic moment, focusing on the interaction between a parent and a young child. Hamilton employs a restrained palette, allowing the white of the paper to function as a primary light source. The figures are rendered with a degree of abstraction, where forms are suggested through washes rather than rigid outlines. This approach creates a sense of immediacy and softness, contrasting with the hard-edged aesthetic found in his earlier screenprints. The vertical elements in the background provide a rhythmic structure, grounding the figures within the space. By choosing a personal, everyday subject, Hamilton explores the intersection of private experience and artistic observation. The work reflects his interest in the photographic source, yet the watercolour medium introduces a human element that softens the mechanical nature of the original reference. The application of colour is precise, with subtle transitions that define the volume of the clothing and the posture of the subjects. This piece offers a view into the breadth of Hamilton's practice, showing his ability to adapt his analytical eye to traditional media. It remains a quiet, contemplative work that avoids the irony often present in his more famous Pop Art compositions, instead focusing on the formal qualities of light, shadow, and human form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/cunard-street-interior-ii-richard-foster-yarde\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCunard Street, Interior II by Richard Foster Yarde\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/on-the-shore-mary-fedden\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eOn the Shore by Mary Fedden\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Richard Hamilton","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131668988239,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131689140559,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131689173327,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131689206095,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131689238863,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131689271631,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131689304399,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131689337167,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131689369935,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131689402703,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131689435471,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131689468239,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Mother-and-Child_Poster_CompositorV1_1792118015062.jpg?v=1792141481","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/mother-and-child-richard-hamilton","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
