This publication acts as a companion piece to \u003cem\u003eRetrospective\u003c\/em\u003e, a catalogue raisonné (1937-2000) published in 2003, in which each image is reproduced to scale without commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHamilton began the writing and designing of this companion book in 2007, during a period of reduced mobility due to a broken hip, under the attribution of Phillip Spectre. With his return to health, the demands of a professional life relegated the work to evenings and weekends. As Hamilton progressed, content, typography, and images evolved together, with the Adobe InDesign computer programme playing a significant role in its development, much like copper and acid were integral to the illustrated books of William Blake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo changes or additions were made to Hamilton’s unfinished work. \u003cem\u003eRichard Hamilton: introspective\u003c\/em\u003e is published as he left it in 2011, complete with blank pages, pagination, and all other original elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471464743148,"sku":"9783883756950","price":115.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783883756950-richard-hamilton-introspective.jpg?v=1775244400","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/richard-hamilton-introspective-9783883756950","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
